Stange electrical problem. Anyone heard of this?

So I have some sort of electrical problem with my car. The handsfree won't find my phone (Already been set up) and my driver memory buttons don't do anything. There isn't even a green light. I tried a hard reset by unplugging the battery negative for a minute and nothing changed. The radio didn't even ask for a code after the battery was plugged back in. It should have. Please help? Is there a blown fuse or something?

there are two fuses, but they provide power to other things. fuse 6 under the dash is for the handsfree, but also map lights. fuse 32 is also for the handsfree, but also the main stereo and hvac display. so if these other things are working it not a fuse.

Check fuse No 7

I think this could be 2 problems.

Fuse no 7 powers the door MICU which is inside of the driver's side power window switch.

Do the power window switch lights come on? They're on a separate circuit from the memo position buttons.

Fuse 7 could be blown and your HFL could be dead. The HFL is a common problem, check on the mid for the HFL does it say "booting up" or something like that?

regarding the battery, you have to leave it disconnected for awhile sometimes. Theres still a bit of energy left inside the car. You can remove this by attempting to operate some switches in the car like ignition, windows, etc. Or you can touch the positive and negative cables together(DO THIS WITHOUT THE BATTERY) Wont do anything except it should remove that tiny bit of power left. Or you can just leave your battery disconnected for like 30 minutes. your radio will definitely ask for a code after that

Ok. Here is the funny thing. This morning the memory seats just started working again on their own. The Handsfree even picked up my phone.

As far as the phone goes, when it was found that only lasted a little bit. Then all of a sudden the phone couldn't be found anymore. I turned bluetooth on and off several times on my phone and the car never found it. So I deleted the handsfree link from my phone, and the phone from my car. I tried to pair it again and my phone can't find the HFL when in discovery mode anymore. Not at all. I have an iphone 5s if it matters.

I unplugged my battery when I got home today and will plug it back in 2morrow morning. that should do it.

I've had some weird intermittent problems with the phone but nothing on that level.
