I can't answer the fuse question, but I do know this...my heated seats and homelink stopped working in my 987 after one of the cells in my battery died and the car wouldn't start. It had to be jumped twice before going over to an indy repair guy to test/replace the battery. Once replaced, I noticed the homelink and heated seats didn't work.

It wasn't a fuse problem. Software controlling those options has to be reset to restore functionality. My independent mechanic evidently didn't have the software. I brought the car to a dealer and it was fixed within an hour.

I'm writing this 3 years after your post just to disseminate this fix.
