check fuses first, for EVERYTHING. Then work your way through the car.

Could be a short...but, your fan may have just took a poop.

Do you have a way of testing for power?...if so, probe that sucka,...

chances are, its a fan/or fuse.

My fan stopped working after I ran over something.......had to replace my harness.....which is a bastard ***** to replace.
