Clearly that doesn't make much sense, so we need to check fuses because the only thing that really makes sense is some blown fuses. Not only does this issue not really make sense after just a battery disconnect but they also don't really relate to each other. So what makes the most sense is blown fuses.

I attached the fuse info, let's run through them and make sure none of them are blown.
