Saitek switch and multi panel issues

I set a departure apt->Fly (I’m in the Tek 172)

  • I go to the checklist

    • Pre-Flight Inspection

      • Avionics Switch (bus 1)

        • I toggle the Avionics rocker switches (Bus 1 Bus 2)
          I do not get a response on my multipanel.
          By the way, I did go through all the power management steps to ‘not manage’ it.
          It works in X-Plane.
          Am I still missing a step or concept here?

Thanks!
