Default NEED WIRING HELP!! cars freaking out

I finally got done with my ls1 swap today it was a 99 trans am ls1 that I put into a 2000 firebird v6...the car starts up and runs great and everything works but interior on the other hand is a different story...the power locks work but the windows dont, the back dome light works but the mirror light doesn't work, the radio has constant power (never goes off), the hatch won't open unless the keys on (it used to always work without the key), the trip mileage resets and the gauges sweep everytime I turn the key on...I checked all the fuses and the fuses are good but there's no power going to any of the window switches...does anyone at all have any ideas? Maybe I missed a ground somewhere?

I'll tell ya what-this is the wrong section for this. This is the external ENGINE section.

Bring your question down the the Firebird section, we'll get you straightened out.

Yes they are...we paid VERY close attention to ground wires and straps when we were putting the motor in...I guess more so than I did the plugs under the dash lol
