Default Heater core replaced now no lights and air bag light

2000 dodge Durango 4.7 slt plus
Tried replacing heater core didn't end well for the heater housing. It was cold thing cracked apart. So I put everything together w/o the heater housing. So I believe I got all the connections and grounds I count 1 ground on each side and one in the middle for the airbag. I made sure to plug in the airbag harness into pita air bag thing in the middle.
So anyways my minds all over the place right now. So theres no head lights. I have brake lights turn signals a/c heat controls light up. But no headlights no dash lights no interior lights. And the air bag light wont shut off.... Please help.............

Ive rebuilt engines and transmissions. Ive worked on trains trucks and farm equipment. Ive restored cars that no one thought was possible. Never again will I take apart this recycled plastic dash. What a pita of a design flaw. I think I will stick to older cars from now on.

I don't have first hand experience, but reading through the manual, the only thing that makes sense is a connection got missed on install.

Sound like your ctm isn't properly hooked up or grounded.

double check all the connections to the ctm, the grounds, and the connectors up under the driver's side footwell.
