there is a fuse box with 50 and 100 amp fuses next to the battery
after figuring how to move the passenger seat to get access (without power) , we found that one of the main fuses that allow current to the smaller boxes was fried.
these larger fuses send power to the smaller units. this specific one was in the cargo area.
total cost...less than $5
it was a pain in the a$$ getting under the seat, removing the battery, and the module that contained all of the large current fuses.
simple once you see it, hard to figure out. a neighbor knows a ton of car stuff and came up with the ideas.
if you have a battery 'jumper' unit, it helps move things that are affected by this
hope this helps
