Rover 45 windows, rear fog light and rear window heater not working

Car: Rover 45
Variant: 1.8 16v
Model Year: 2002
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
After a flat battery I reloaded it and put it back. But suddenly all the electric windows, rear fog lights and back window heater aren't working anymore. I checked out the voltages of the battery while running and while not. Seems ok. The box under the hood fuses ok. Inside the car some of the fuses don't seem to get anything. I tried to replace the relais for these but didn't work either. Can someone please help. I'm not sure anymore what it could be. Thx in advance. Grtz

You need to recheck , test all related fuses and relays

There is usually a red / live wire on a lot of cars of that era that is attached to the battery terminal and sometimes gets inadvertently left off .

Cant post pictures on here unfortunately . I've found this picture which is similar to a lot of cars with the wire /cable that attached to the terminal and supplied power to different circuits
