Help with no start Going to work in 2 hours in THIS car

Alright, so last night after work, I decided to replace all of the burnt out bulbs in my dash. I pulled my wheel and dash, labeled all of the wire connections, etc.

 

Now, the dash is back in, the wheel is on and easily removeable, the connections are all back in the right spots.

 

The ignition won't turn from "lock", and when I turn on the headlights, only my running lights come on. Horn makes a clicking sound somewhere on the side of the fusable links, but all of the fusable links have 12 volts on either end. My wheel is locked, I was trying to do the "steeringwheel jiggle" to get the key to turn ---didn't work---.

The thick white wire with a black stripe on the back of the ignition switch connector has 12 volts. Should any other of the 4 wires have 12 volts?

 

Any ideas as to what could cause this?? I'm supposed to wake up at 6am (now 3:56am) to take this car, my daily driver, to work. Help please!

Well, I have no idea what I did, but after many renditions of "unplug everything, take off the housing, plug everything back in, put the console back together", it worked. Sadly, my turn signals and headlights still don't work. The actuators in the switch are working fine and making contact. I haven't yet checked with a voltometer, or even checked the fuses. at about 7am, I called it quits and started walking. The headlights and signals worked perfectly fine before.

 

Note: I'm not at home right now, so I can't run down and check them.
