electrical guys! i need help bad!

just pull the column apart and put your old switches in. then the plugs will be the same...

so are the two columns wired that diffenent? i got a rebuilt manual column from a guy on ebay thinking that it would be plug and play,i guess i was wrong. i really don't want to pull the column back out and pull it apart.it looks like a real pain in the ***! i know this sounds stupid,but does the steering wheel need to be on for some stupid reason?!
