Default 15 XL climate control stopped working

I started installing my double din in my 150 f150 this weekend. I thought I didn't mess with anything too much but when I put it all together my ac controls didn't work and my airbag light is on dash but not the one right under the radio. That one uses the same board that the climate controls connected to.






Both red wires on plug on right are getting power, haven't checked the other plug yet. I'm wondering if the factory amp has to be hooked up or something because these two plugs are all I have hooked back up (along with the ribbons connecting boards) I have checked fuses for Climate Head Module, and In car temperature with humidity sensor. I didn't see one for passenger air bag but I'm assuming it links back through this one board..

Vehicles are no longer as simple as they seem. My XLT has manual climate controls but I there is still some automatic intervention. It automatically switches to recirculate if the outside temperature goes above 75. It also seems to control the temperature coming out the vents because it's the first manual system i've used that I don't constantly have to fiddle with the heat. I put the **** in one spot and it stays pretty comfy. Don't know about the XL but my XLT seems to be a semi auto system so messing with all those control boards and the radio head unit may have interfered with something.

And if the airbag light on the dash is on that means that all of the airbags may no longer be functioning and will not protect you in a crash.

Just an update guys. I found my issue was the ribbon cables. Checked continuity and they were good. For the 5th time when I put it back together I switched the cables so the contacts were facing a different way at the circuit board and voila...power and no airbag light.

Might be be something for you to check...I was 100% sure I had it right according to the instructions but they were in wrong.
