If its a fuse it really shoulda only knocked out one side of the car, otherwise it was a powersurge more than likely.

As prev said you should be able to hear the relay clicking

And also if its a bad earth it can be a bastard to find if the wiring joins the loom (which i dont know if it does or not on Vauxs)
