Default DIC Buttom Problems

I have no idea what the problem is because I haven't been unable to pull the thing apart again. I put the gauge bezels I got, in this afternoon. I thought I plugged everything back in again, but from what I can remember, there is only two plugs behind the dash cluster. One big one and a little one where the HUD area is. I don't have HUD, but it appeared to be for the dimmer switch.

It was extremely simple to tear apart and put back together. Had it apart in about 15-20 minutes and back together in same amt of time.

Now, my question is this... Are there any other plugs behind there that would keep the DIC from working? The odo. shows the mileage, and the dimmer switch works properly, but the DIC switches do not work at all. Wonder if someone could help me before tearing into this thing again in the morning. Thanks!

btw.. No check gauges or engine codes from what I can tell.

The DIC buttons have a plug as well when you tear the cluster apart to do the gauge bezels. I didn't notice it came apart when I was taking the housing apart. The plug is the same size as the dimmer switch. So, for future reference of others that may run into the buttons not working.
