loss of powersteering after steering wheel removal

[roscoe87]

so i replaced my steering wheel and while i was in the process i accidentally moved the clock spring and got a red steering wheel light and complete loss of the electrical steering assist. no other lights on the dash, scanned with a pocket scanner and got a 00778 steering angle sensor fault. tried to recalibrate the sensor by turning the wheel all the way to the right then to the left then driving, however no luck. anybody else ever have this happen? what was your solution?
