Radio isn't turning on HELP!!!
 
So I just got finished putting in the cubbies in my GSR that come with the leather package. I finished putting everything back together and now my radio won't turn on. The head unit itself won't even turn on and displays nothing.

I don't know how this could have happened as I didn't mess with any of the radio wires. I only unplugged the tarmac controls to remove the center console and then unplugged the HVAC, cigarette lighter, and the hazard panel. I checked to see if maybe something came unplugged from the radio, but everything looks plugged in.

Please help!

I posted this in the General thread also, sorry if this isn't allowed.

SO I also noticed the Hazards ribbon came off. I am trying to locate where this goes but can't find it any suggestions? Apparently this powers the head unit!

what are cubbies?
and don't worry about that ribbon thing, does nothing
check your fuses, might have shorted something

Thanks guys, I solved this problem about an hour after it was posted.

The ribbon is indeed NEEDED for power to the radio. Who ever thought of this idea is a real jerk :)
