onboard message center

Hi friends
There was a malfunction in the message center located on the center console. These two parts are burnt.
Is there an electrical diagram for this message center?

I need to find the part code, can you help me?

looking at the two burnt components. the first one is a ceramic capacitor. Double check to see if you can read a rating on the side.

The second component is a transistor. I think I found it here:

The blue disc is a metal oxide varistor (MOV). Is it physically damaged at the bottom edge? Hard to tell in the picture. If not it may still be good. It basically absorbs a surge and in doing so its resistance decreases and creates a short which may have damaged the transistor. You will need to inspect the copper traces to see if any are burned open, which will need repairing. Post some pictures if you are not sure. There could be other components damaged along the path of the transistor. How did this blow?
