You didn't say, so I have to ask. Check all the fuses? Relays?

If you have, or can find, an owner's manual you can narrow down the search.

If everything looks/works then you can get a DVM and start checking voltages at those fuses to make sure power is getting to them, through to the other side and then further down the line. Where ever the voltage stops there's your problem.

If you don't have a digital volt meter (DVM) get one. They're cheap and you'll use it many times for many things.
