'lectrical problems after dash swap

I swapped out my old wrecked dash for a one I got off a parted out car. Now the following items won't work:
Automatic seat belts
4 way flashers
turn signals
I've checked for loose plugs and fuses, but can't find anything unplugged or blown.
Any ideas? I plan on pulling it apart and checking for hidden plugs tomorrow, along with the 4 way hazard switch.

Sounds like you missed something, look under the dash and make sure everything is plugged in and that no fuses are blown. Always good to double check your work, you might find something you forgot to connect

What year and model is your car and what year and model is the dash you are using? The wiring did change a little bit between years. If it's a compatible year, then yeah I'd suggest checking to make sure all the plugs are connected properly.

I took it back apart and found a plug that got stuck up on the backside of the dash. Plugged 'er in and everything works like a charm now.
