Default crv electrical problem

hi all this is my first post so please be gentle, ok so i noticed today my air con wasnt working on my 57 plate 2.0 crv itec, i read on a forum to check the air con fuses under the hood and swap to test, i did this then swapped back , but now ive got loads of problems, firstly my engine managment light is on , secondly my oil warning light is flashing amber on and off and my auto lights are staying on with the key removed and the car locked , i put the fuses back in the correct place and only swapped about the ones with the same fuse rating, hopefully someone can help me as im bricking it at the moment , thanks for any help

try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. afterward, idle for 10 minutes and perform a drive cycle. that is, 0-50kph steady. decel without braking. try and drive through a fair grade if you can. this is just to allow the ecm to relearn adaptive strategies

i'd see if you can find a pdf of the service manual somewhere. with that you'll be able to troubleshoot by symptoms.

usually honda computer modules are good about being randomly disconnected.. but that's still a big automotive no-no.

yea, relays. they should all operate the same. look at the part numbers on them. see if they all match
