Default Missed a grounding wire no interior lights.

I just finished putting sound deadener in the car. Now I have no gauge, shifter consol, HAVAC, or stero back lighting. What ground did I not put back because I don't recall removing any? Steering wheel controls are all I have. I was thinking that there was a strap that grounded where the console bolts down up fron under the dash but I dont see the wire( if it was ever there?) Can someone look and see if there is one or wher I may have loosened one.
Thanks

Check all the fuses? I forgot i had the battery connected one day and popped one when installing my HUmount. Same issue then.

Thanks, I skipped right over that and sure enough the 5amp blew. I had not planned on that and was going to tear apart the carpet again today. Thanks again, I can't belive I skipped something so simple.
