Take a test light and check all the fuses one by one under the hood and in the kick panels.

If the fuses are good. It would be an electrical problem which you would need to check out the circuit. You would need an electrical diagram.

As easy as this: open it, and then pull it straight out. It's just held in by friction.

With a multimeter set on DC. There are several fuse locations to check, though, so don't overlook those. There should be a fuse block under the hood, so check your manual.
