That's the fuse for navigation/radio. Did you turn off the radio before locking the car?

So now you need to disconnect each of the items fed from this fuse one at a time to diagnose.

Assume you already have the fuse chart (attached) that comes in the glove box area.

Tried to attach a spreadsheet for the fuse chart in reverse order, but this site does not permit. If you need it, PM your email address to me.
