Default New install finished....no electronics working

So the radio and speakers work, but the dash, handle bar controls and ignition won't work. What did I screw up? This is a Sony a5000 install with amp and speakers. Here is a photo.

For the handle bar controls, do you have the black plug off the metra plugged into the sony on the bottom right on the back of the hu? Is the run switch on on the throtter side controls? I ask as I had the same problem and apparently hit the kill switch while installing it.

The handlebar controls, and TBW plug in underneath the "amp" tray there, did you unplug those during install?
