You need access to a wiring diagram to figure out which fuse/relay controls everything on that circuit. You could have left a connector loose or blown a fuse on accident. I won't know what controls everything without a diagram.

You have to buy a bentley manual for the car. The dealer isn't supposed to give you wiring diagrams, so don't expect them to give you any more. This issue might be over you head, you may want the dealer to take over for you.

hey guys looked around the ECU area, there is water over there, like the water is below the computer and but like on the buttom of the box where the computer is and like all those fuses and wires, there probbaly 1 incho or so of water, will that cause something fishy like that??? and also some fuses read 12 volts and some read only about 4 like the fuel pump fuse

Well the ECM box is supposed to be sealed, so if water is in there you could have fried your ECM. My central locking module just went out because water got in there and i had to replace it. Check the fuses and relays in the ECM box before condeming the ECM.
