Radio/AC Control help

This past weekend I wanted to paint my interior panels so I took everything out, painted everything, and put it all back together. When I turned on my car, my A/C and Radio didn't work. So I took it apart again to troubleshoot. I noticed that one of the connectors (the one next to the black antenna wire wasn't there. Everything else was plugged in properly. I tried to find it for an hour with no avail. Does anyone know where this plug comes in from so I can find it, or is there not even a plug and something else is messed up. Also, air comes out of the vents but you can't control the temp. or a/c on it. Please help. Thanks

That bolt was the bane of my existence when I mounted my coilover e-con. I never put it back in either.

I dont think it's the bolt becuase I took it out and put it back in. Is there a connector that should be plugged in next to the antenna wire becasue if so, mines not plugged in and I can't find it. Its the stranest thing

After some searching, I found out that I'm not missing any plugs. So I've tried all the connections about 8 times to no avail. The radio doesn't turn on, the clock becomes lit with the red light but doesn't come on, the CD will accept CD's, the A/C doesn't turn on, but you can adjust the volume of air with the dial. The other dial for temperature doesn't do anything. Any one have any suggestions, becasue I know the dealer will charge me an arm and a leg. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Have you checked to see if you blew a fuse?
