DashLights wont turn on?! after plugging/unplugging wires
The dash lights (ie: fuel, speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature) as well as the Shifter lights (mine's an automatic) as well as the lights on the top 3 display (temp, oil level, and voltage level) all went out. I took out my center console to do some minor work, to do so I had to unplug the wire connecting the top 3 gauges, and I also unplugged the plug to the ACC controls. Both of these I plugged back in after finishing my work. I also permanently unplugged one of the bundle of wires that connects to the OEM radio unit unit because I have plans to replace it with a double DIN in the future anyway.
I restarted my car after hooking up the batteries again, but now the lights are all out.
I checked the fuse box, but cannot find the fuse that is labeled instrument lights
I am suspecting I messed up something when i pulled out that bundle of skinny wires connected to the OEM radio unit.
Other lights working fine (ie. head lights, dome light, parking lights, air conditioning, blinkers)
Please help? Thank you in advance

check the box that the A/C controls are connected to. ensure that none of those wires are loose. I believe one of them went to the stock radio. that box controls all of those gauges.

Hmm bad news guys ... I put in the new fuse. Started the car, nothing changed. The lights are still out and the side mirrors arnt moving. So i turned off the car and looked at the new fuse i just put in. It has also just blown as well. So i followed what you guys suggested to see if the wires plugged into the white box are loose. I found none of them are loose, all of them are in place. Attached are pictures. As you can see the white box at the bottom has all the wires in place, the radio box has one set of wires assembly pulled out.
