Default fabia vrs help

My friend has sanity threatening problems with his 2005 fabia vrs. It was partially stripped, dash and heater all removed for some work. Although many things were unplugged they mostly all back (some heater connectors,passenger air bag and seat.
We have access to vag com but have never used it before, it told us we had various control module comms. faults. The engine will not turn over.
We have checked connectors, fuses, earths and are now running out of ideas. What do we need to check next?

VAG stuff needs the dash clocks to be connected as part of the immobiliser circuit,
So make sure everything is hooked up correctly there

Fixed. We got a wiring diagram from autodata with wire colours and traced the starting circuit. Found the plugs through the bulkhead not properly connected (despite checking that they were on more than one occasion! Doh. All good now. thanks for the replys
