The first thing we need to do is check the fuses for power. here is a guide to help and the fuse locations. also, I have included the fuses you should check with the key on.

If these fuses do not have power the central junction box will need to be replaced. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
