Default steering column swap then no start

i decided to switch out my steering column in my 87 4.0 cherokee with an auto trans, the jeep started fine before i did this, now it wont even roll over. i tried puttin the old steering column back in and it still wont start. im pretty positive i plugged everything back in right and i checked that multiple times. everything else works, it just wont roll over.

where do i start?????

it wouldn't hurt to ground it... What year is the new steering column out of...? did you use the same inj switch? can you get the jeep to start off the starter selonoid?
