Defender 2020 central panel with air condition died and windows stopped working

Hey All, 

New to the forum and registered to hopefully get your opinions. I own a 8 month old defender 2020. This morning went to a meeting in another town and the car was working fine. When I got back and unlocked it I found out that the panel with the ac regulator was dead. Nothing was working. No lights on any of the knobs and buttons. Furthermore, the windows wouldn't work either, neither up or down. The central panel and the dash board were fine. 

I drove it in the blistering heat to the dealer, who at first thought it was a blown fuse, but they checked in my presence and the fuses were alright. They gave me a small Renault as a replacement and put my car on diagnostics but haven't heard back. 

Anyone had this issue before?

I think your confused, this is Can-Am Defender site(UTV's). not a Land Rover Defender forum.
