A/C and Dash Gauges stopped working after radio install

Last night I put my CD player back in after removing it to get the display fixed. So I put it back in and got everything back together. Got in the car this morning and realized the air-conditioner didn't work nor do the lights on the a/c buttons. Then saw that the speedo,gas gauge, temp, and rpm gauges were as if the car was off. The mileage displays but they didn't move when driving the car.

The ABS and brake light are also staying on. The car seems to run fine but what in the world did I do to the car? I was looking in the dash fuses and didn't see any blown. Did I short something out or what?

To make sure, if I remember correctly, I had to reconnect the harness on the back of the screen, the one to the back of the radio controls and the one to the back of the a/c controls. I haven't had a chance to take it apart again and see if I missed something since I figured it out on the way to work. Any help will be appreciated, I'm hoping this won't be too bad.

False alarm! I forgot to hook some plugs up. I was running all the wire for my amp and sub at the time. I swear I was looking straight at all the plugs and said to my self that I had everything hooked-up. As soon as I opened it up again yesterday it was so obvious. Good thing, I was worried that I messed something up.
