The sunroof, windows and radio are not working after I removed and reinstalled the instrument cluster. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

Can I ask if the instrument cluster was used or the same one? If used you will need to have it initialized (programmed) to work with the car. Can you see if you have power at fuse #f1.31 please? Here is a guide and the fuse location:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Thanks for replying Ken! The instrument cluster is the same one. I forgot to mention that ever since I did that the battery is also draining. The car will start when I charge the battery but not the next day. I will check the fuses and let you know.

It could be a coincidence the battery went bad. I would do this test to see if the battery passes.

Please run down this guide and report back.
