Default hazards, signals and dash lights stopped working

I spent the last 3 days replacing both side door shells, and transferring glass, panels, wires, switches, handles etc. What a chore. Anyway, I also put in an Alpine head unit in the dash, and a powered 8" sub in back, running the sub power off the rear power port wires. Now the car is all back together.....but the hazards, signals, and dash lights don't work. Fuses look good...at least the large ones on the left. I don't even know what all the small ones are for. Any clue where to begin? Obviously, the hazard switch or connections first. Anyone know how to hard jumper the connections to trouble shoot the hazard switch? Anyone have any trouble shooting suggestions at all? The dash lights worked last night following the installation of the deck and sub. I rolled the wheel on the headlight control panel and that is not the issue with the lights.

Default relay schematic

Thanks for the link. Good walk through. Any idea where to find a diagram for the hazard switch to trouble shoot the one I have? I ask because I'd like to know if it has failed before I buy and install another one. If I knew what is pos and neg and which activate what I could confirm or eliminate the switch/relay as my issue. I guess with a little time, a 12v battery and an led I can figure it out.
