The air conditioner worked fine, until I removed the dash bezel and changed out the radio. I tried, but was unable to remove the wires from the heat/air conditioner controls, so I set it out of the way, changed the radio and reinstalled the dash bezel. Now neither the climate control knob or fan control work other than the direction control door in the plenum can be heard changing positions. The air conditioner compressor also does not engage. What did I do?

Check to make sure nothing has come disconnected to the panel. Also, make sure none of the wires are damaged or shorted. Finally, confirm that the fuse wasn't blown while you were working on the radio. If the compressor isn't engaging, something has come apart at the switch.
