Heater controls & switches don't work

I was installing a Parrot bluetooth & had to remove the radio & all the front of the center part with the heater controls & window switches, etc. When I put it back together the only thing that worked was the fan. When I push the AC, rear defrost, or recirculate buttons, none of the lights go on. The dial for the different vents doesn't work (it only blows air out the dash vents). To top it off, the windows, fog lights, & door lock switches don't work either. I plugged all the connectors back in, unplugged them & plugged them in again. Still nothing works. By that time, I was out of light & I gave up for the night. Please help!

I have posted this to the 2nd Generation side

Maybe it has to do with the Bluetooth install. Did you connect the bluetooth to any wires in the Mini wiring harness?

Have you checked fuses? Did you disconnect the battery before doing the work?

I didn't tie into the Mini wiring, I used a car kit that just hooked up to the radio connection. Radio works fine.

I have not checked the fuses & I wish I had disconnected the battery

I noticed that I posted this to the wrong generation. I'm going to copy & past it to the correct one.

Thanks for the replies.
