gauges/electrical only work when ignition key is on

hi i am in need of help.

long story short, i install trustz gauge cluster, an alpine head unit, and rewire my fender lights to work with my park lights.

everything worked fine and perfectly like they should. i tested everything one by one b4 the next, so i know that the installation was right.

but when i start to put everything back together, something didnt seem right, my clock didnt work, and hazards, turn signal, park and running lights, fogs, dome light didnt work. only the gauge cluster, and headlight/tailights work ONLY when the ignition was turned on.

my radio, clock, and dome stopped working even with the ignition turn to the on position.

and my OEM keyless entry remote stopped working now too.

i would like to add that all the fuses arent blown, that i know of...
and i also have a blitz Turbo Timer that is working flawlessly everytime i turn on and off the ignition.

so im really **** outta luck right about now. idk what to do or where to start looking.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

^^ If you tapped into a circuit that's only hot when the key is in the ONII position then that's what you'll get.

found out what happen! the 2 10A fuses that got a bracket or something covering it in the fuse box was blown. found out they were the radio fuse and something else. iforgot but i replaced them and it works fine again. idk it must have touched something when i was installing the radio or when i was putting everything back together. but its fine now! thanks again for all your guyses input i really apprciate it.
