Steamy windows...please help!!!

I installed my new head unit and after I was done, a day or two later, my a/c and defogger don't work. When I turn the car on, the three indictor lights blink and that's it. So, I must be getting signal or something to the climate controls but no power to a/c or defogger. control knobs still function, but no cold air. Please help me, I am steaming my windows and sweating to death.

check fuses, check to make sure the wires are attached to the back of the fan switch

Steamy windows means the recirc button is on. Doesn't help you fix it since all they do is blink but thats why the windows are steamy.

I checked all the fuses the car has. I know why windows steam up. I just need to get the a/c fixed soon since summer in TX without it sucks. There was one other wire I pulled from the stereo that wasn't reconnected, but it didn't affect it. Anyone know the wire colors and where they go to...like a schematic, or something?
