check for blown fuse. owner's manual details how... basically, remove fuse box cover which is to left and below steering wheel. there you'll find a diagram for which fuse is which. if it's blown, it'll look burnt. if it's not the fuse, it also might just be loose. make sure it's properly re-installed: must be tight, or 'locked' back in...
