Default E60 Multimedia not working after replacing the blower motor

Hello guys,
So I replaced the blower motor myself and had the battery unplugged before replacing the blower motor. I replaced the blower motor and put everything back and now my multimedia screen or sound won't come on. There is a sos no phone sign on the dash.

Any suggestions?

I did three times, there are only three connectors for the radio and I plugged them all, plus I checked the fuse on the back of the radio under the big plug it seems fine. Is it possible that I screwed one of the connectors, I was gentle while removing them though.

No the connectors only go in one way so I doubt you messed the connector up. Check the fuse in the trunk to see if it blown

Is there a specific fuse I am looking for?

You're going to have to check your fuse card. I know mine is 79 in the renin but I have a 2005. 2010 have a different fuse box than mine

I did move the center arm rest back a bit, can it be that the connection for the knob might gotten affected or something?

If you're unsure, then check them all. Use a multimeter, fuse tester or circuit tester and it'll take 1/2 second per fuse. If you're pulling them and checking visually, that will take forever.

I will do that, thankyou. And what about that center knob? Can moving the center console a bit back damage anything?
