Re: short circuit
Does it have an in tank pump? if so can you hear it briefly when you switch the ignition on? if not and it has one you have lost the power supply to it.

Re: short circuit
Could be that you have lost power to the engine ECU there is not a simple way of finding out, you really need to find someone with a Lexia, there is a list of them somewhere on the forum.
You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, that might reset it.

Re: short circuit
When you were messing with the fuses have you pulled one out & put it back in the wrong place ? There are usually empty slots in the fusebox for equipment that isn't fitted to all models, if it was working fine until the fuse blew then it sounds highly likley that's what may have happened.
