NOW MY WIDOWS,ALARM,LOCK BUTTON INSIDE AND KEY BUTTON DOESNOT WORK, BACK WINDOW DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. I WANTED TO KNOW IS THERE A RELAY OR FUSE BLOWN WHERE JUMP STARTED?

The fuse boxes are inside the rear compartment side hatch and in the glove box. Check all of them of course, but I suspect the voltage surge during the "jump start" may have caused some permanent damage to the general module, which is the controller for all of the options that are inoperative.
