Hopefully the codes do not come back. I think they won't, most probably.
I want to thank this EM community for this... I began serious auto repair learning on this forum 10 years ago. This is my primary car community. Almost all of my teaching-peers were/are here.
Have a good eve, guys. I am back at my writing.

Congratulations! Hopefully it does not return or you may be looking for what shorted to cause the blown fuse. Another extra fuse in the glove box and showing your daughter which it is might be worth the effort.
