Did you try looking in your owners manual? It should have a diagram as to where your fuse box is located. Typically underneath the steering column or underneath the hood next to your battery..generally.

Check whether fuse 19 under the dash is blown.

If the fuse is OK, the next thing to check would be the switch. On a manual it is on the transmission. On an automatic it is at the shift lever inside the car.
