If you backed up* the original Panel.cfg file try replacing it & start again.
*Note: It's good practice to back up any FS files before editing them so you can replace them if anything goes wrong.
If you tell me which aircraft you're trying to modify, which instructions you're following & where I can download it I'll check it out for you.
Hi Hagar (you helped me twice before so I have faith & gratitude)
Hi Hagar (Thanks for your help again) - I've been messing around a bit and currently have this file path set up:-
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\HP-80 Victor\panel
In the panel folders I have my modified .cfg file (contents exploded below)

The only mods I have added are from the line [WIndow02]downwards. The original file (that works without the auto pilot is as follows:
