I thought I had read through this entire thread before I started, but apparently not, because I'm usually pretty good at remembering potential hang ups.
I ended up having the same problem that BoxerPitMix did in the quoted post below.
The first clock spring I got from a 1999 s10 on eBay had the black connector, but the 2001 Cadillac wheel I got needs the yellow one. So I got one for a 2000+ S10 and ran into the issue where the connector at the steering column to the harness is different as this picture I grabbed from a Blazer forum shows.

His solution was to swap the pins at the airbag connector which I think I'll probably do.
But for me it would be nicer if I could swap the column connector pins because that clock spring is new and the one with the black airbag connector is used. I don't know if that's doable though. I can't find any information on those terminals. It's like they don't you messing with them or something
. And I did see where the OP had mentioned if it was a 95-97 OBS you would need to splice the old plug to the new clock spring which I also missed the first time through. I'm hesitant to do that though because there isn't a whole lot of information I can find on splicing SIR wires other than a bunch of people saying not to do it. The Factory Service Manual does mention there is a repair kit with special spices to do it, but that's about it.
