    I did but I'm not sure what ones. I know it should be accessories. All the fuses that are there look fine.

    Pick up a cheap volt / ohm meter at Walmart, and see if you have 12 volts getting to the green and white wires. If there’s no power there, then you need to determine which fuse in the power box supplies power to these wires and see if it’s blown. The meter will take the guess work out of it.

    No I took it to a shop and they hooked it to a power supply in their shop and it worked.
