The console also doesn't turn off when I turn the jeep off. Still no response from the screen. Where could I be messed up though? Here's pics of all connections I've made.

You'll need a wiring diagram of what wires go in to the harnesses and in what positions. I'm sure someone will chime in soon, lots of topics on ohc

The back lights wouldn't turn off because the door was open.(I feel retarded) but the LCD won't work. Is there away to hard wire it to see if it works at all or if it's just not wires up right?

Would the temp sensor not being plugged in make the display not come on?

I know that, I got everything working right now but the display. The guy I bought it from says it used to work. I picked it up cheap so i don't think he's lying. But I checked the power wire with an electric tester and it's getting power. So that means the display is busted right? What's a few things I can try to fix it before I try to find another display to buy?

Pretty sure the displays are shot due to the black dots on the right side... Wierd thing is that I had one sent to me and the black cover that is over the display was on, then when I plugged it up and took it back off it seemed to have lost the glue. Did I just blow both of those displays because the first one used to work. What the hell is making this happen.
