Answer
James,

If the car was bottomed out you might have a fuse or fuse link that is blown.  I would first check the fuses and links at the positive battery cable.  Then the relay boxes under the hood.  If that is fine then we need to be looking at wiring from the firewall in where the interior wiring connects to the under hood harness.  Email me back with what you find.
