Rear Disc Brake Caliper ? There is a small tool to turn the caliper pistons in or retract (that is actually the barking brake) You also have to push the piston in, after you screw in the piston,for that you open the bleeder & make sure you have something across the caliper ,so your not pushing on the piston with any clamp or other tool May push in by hand- IF- the bleeder is open Lots of video you can watch on You Tube

I'm not sure if the relays are marked by letters and numbers but the relay should be identified by the letter "K". One quick question; on the second attempt do you lose ALL power to everything? If this is the case you may be looking at a bad ground and would check the ground wire for starters at where it connects to the engine block. Wish I had a diagram of the fuse layout and hope it's marked by letters and numbers for you. I hope this helps and good luck.

Sounds like there is either air in the system, or most likely a bad pump...either way will require service.

Try this and please let me know it it works for you. A pro mechanic told me a week ago that I am talking rubbish, but I got this FROM a pro mechanic and it has worked for many members here. Resetting a Vehicle Anti-Theft System after Battery Disconnect This is how you reset an anti theft system if you have the anti-theft light on, or your car is cranking, but you have no spark. Doing a full reset of the anti-theft system. Disconnect both battery leads for at least two hours. Hold the negative and positive leads together for 5 minutes to fully discharge any residual power in capacitors. Put the key in the ignition, but not turned on or Fob close to steering wheel. VERY IMPORTANT! Connect the positive lead. Connect the negative lead in one swift movement. Wait 15 minutes for the system to fully reset.

Blowers stop working for one of 2 reasons as a rule. The first is overheating caused by a lack of lubrication. I recommend all turbo engines change the oil at 6K using fully synthetic lubricant. Also, the heat and excessive speed of a turbocharger causes the bearings to wear to the point that they freeze up or come apart. You can usually replace just the turbo cartridge to repair the issue but need to find out if overheating or loss of lubrication was the problem. The tubes carrying oil to the turbo can become clogged with hardened "coked" oil and need to be replaced or at least cleared.

Your memory settings were reset, you'll have to adjust it back to your personal preference, it'll be fine but even the vehicle's battery is disconnected in the future be prepared to do so again. Sorry there's no really simple solution, but at least it's not a big issue, but it is inconvenient!
