You must have blown a fuse somewhere. Check those in the engine compartment as well.

If you are certain that the fuses are OK, try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. This may re-program the body computer. This might help. If you do this, follow the owner manual for idling the engine after you reconnect.

How did you check the fuses? Did you use a test light or a meter?

Use a wiring diagram to trace all the affected areas and see if you can find a common point of failure.
There may be a burned up plug or wire caused by the short.
