Blown actuator supply fuse
The fuse feeding a group of actuators, blown so several outputs lose power together. Modules commonly supply banks of actuators from one protected feed, which is why a single fuse produces a set of unrelated-looking codes — solenoids, valves and relays across different systems failing at the same moment.
That simultaneity is the diagnostic gift. Several actuator circuits reporting open at once is a shared supply, not several failed actuators, and it locates the fault immediately. The temptation is to work through the components one at a time, which is exactly the wrong approach here.
A blown fuse is a symptom. These do not fail with age; one of the actuators on the feed has shorted, or the harness has chafed to earth. Measure each actuator's winding resistance to find the outlier, and fit a new fuse only after that — a replacement into a short blows again and repeated attempts damage the wiring the fuse is protecting. Check what else shares the feed, since the failed component may be in a system nobody has complained about.
Typically an easy fix. Often worth checking before paying anyone to look.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
