Another climate control issue

new guy here , tried another forum however i never would get any replie's? i think those guys often visited the dealership and didnt want to get dirty? anyway i had to purchase another car due to the mileage on my lease. So i bought a 02 s430 , it only had 63k on the clock and it drove smooth , also very comfy. I bought the car very cheap because of a few problems the car had. the first prob was the radio = no sound. so i start my investagation the stock unit was replaced with a kenwood , i wanted to pull it out to make sure all was connected correctly (it was) when doing this i had to remove the climate control unit , no big deal i only noticed 1 plug. well after i put all of this back together my climate control is dead no lights no nothing. it seems like its not getting any power? i have pulled this thing out 10xs checking everything making sure i hooked it all back up correctly (im pretty sure i did) so then i started to check fuses , i think i checked all the correct ones? (they are all good) my question = what happened? maybe im missing something? the stereo now works previous owner took the factory amp for some reason? i need some help its hot where i live and i miss the a/c. it worked before i un=hooked it.

In short = my climate control system is dead no power , sorry i dont own a test light to check the wires for power. i hope this makes sense i was at happy hour a bit too long.

I would really get a cheap meter for troubleshooting problems. they are under $20 and are very useful.

so this would lead me to think this is not a common problem with the climate control units? I really dont want to meter and start messing with the wires , i was hoping someone might be able to chime in and say = hey i had that problem , you should check the= i want to be sure im checking the correct fuses can someone please list the fuses and location of the fuses that control the climate control unit. i called the dealer today to make a appt , however he left me on hold for way too long , so i hung up. i got to fix this. ****
