Ok, remember, you will not get power to those two items unless, the key is in the on position or the car is started. Have you checked it that way?

I believe there is a relay switch that goes along with the regular fuse, if they are ok then look for the ground, for them, they are most likely both on the same ground which is why they both arent working at the same time. Then I would consider, having the body control module inspected for a short
