Took Dash Apart to fix stepper motor, now AC stopped working.

hi, i just had my entire dash apart trying to find out the chirping sound. Figured out it was the blower motor bearing, lubed it and put the entire dash back and now there is no cold air coming out of the air conditioner. It was working fine before i started taking the dash apart. Any ideas on what it could be? I am sure i plugged everything back in but maybe i missed something ?

Just checked and my "Econ" or "ac off" light is NOT on. I can turn it On or Off. Ac was blowing nice and cool yesterday. Does taking the blower motor off affect ac in anyway ? How can I tell by looking at the engine bay if compressor is turning on or not?

I just checked both fuses, they are good. I do not hear a click anymore, which makes me believe that maybe I did not plug something back in or it's electrical.
On the back of the climate control thing, I think there is only connector right ?
What are all the electrical possibilities that ac will not come on? Any sensor that I might have left unplugged ?
Blower motor only has one connector as well right ?

not a merc
Should be two plugs behind your ac panel one main plug and other for stepper motors. its a small 3 pin plug with ribbon type cable connected to it

Problem fixed! The bigger connector behind the climate control was not pushed in deep enough. Thx for the input folks

is it hard to take the dash apart? did you have to rip the whole dash apart or were you able to get to the motor just by removing the radio?
