Thanks so much for this. Now the big question, how do I identify which relay/fuse fried??
Take a look in the Owners manual- I think it will tell you the location of the fuse and relay boxes. They are in more than one place- behind glovebox, behind side panel in storage area behind rear seat.

Fuses can be removed and you can visually look at them to identify if they are good or blown. I am not sure how to check relay condition.
You may need to get car to mechanic to sort this out.
