It sounds like you blew a fuse. Remove the fuse for that circuit. Even if it doesn't look bad chances are it is. You can either check if for continunity to see if it is bad or just replace it to see if that fixes the problem.
Let me know what you find.

I had a feeling that is what it was. Sometimes it is hard to tell they are blown.
Regardless, thanks for using 2carpros.com, and let us know.
