    A few days ago I had to break into the car, the thieves smashed the window and snatch the screen :-/ The result was a dead battery. After charging does not work:
    - Smart key (I must put in dock, second key don't work [why?])
    - Does not work closing / opening of the remote control (the button on door works)
    - Mirrors do not work (broken fuse)
    - No backlight board (broken fuse)
    - No ceiling lights
    - Radio dont work
    - SVC light on dashboard

    I checked the external and internal fuses, two changed, but the problems are not resolved. Where could be the problem?

    Holy crap! I hope this type of theft doesn't become common in the US.

    So far, it hasn't yet, AFAIK.

    There are more fuses under the dash, near the lever to open the hood. I would tape off the ends of the wires sticking out first.

    Today I fix the cables. Where exactly is the rest of the fuses? I found only two places (on the pictures). Screen goes two connectors (big) and two to the clock and buttons?

    Those are the only two I know of. You might need to have a screen in for some of those things to work. Also, something else may have been damaged from those cables touching each other. I will try to see if I get any of those symptoms with an MFD removed. I should be replacing one on Saturday.
