Default Replaced my heater core, now transmission wont shift

I replaced my heater core and put everything back the way I pulled it off. Hooked everything back up. Now not only is my dash cluster, headlights, and rear hatch release button all not working. When I shift it into drive (what I think is drive) it doesnt want to shift up...
Any ideas???

sounds like your shift linkage might need some adjustment. everything else sounds like it might be a fuse.

Did you disconnect anything on your body control module behind the ashtray?

Yeah I had to disconnect the whole unit to get the core housing out.
I literally went through EVERY SINGLE fuse in BOTH boxes and it still wont work.

Finally got it fixed, turns out that when I was reinstalling the dashboard assembly and plugging the main plugs that bolt together I bent a pin and thats what caused the issue. Will NEVER do a heatercore job again lol
