I was changing the bulb in the boot of my car to a coloured bulb, and as I was taking out the old bulb I am pretty sure the screwdriver touched the prongs where the bulb plugs into. That bulb then completely stopped working.

The interior light, the map reading lights and the clock now no longer work. The 'door open' indicator on the dash board is glowing constantly.

If I turn on a map light, the light still doesn't come on but the light in the centre of the roof works, the door open light turns off then a little red light appears on the radio. The clock also lights back up.

My first thoughts were I had blown a fuse. I looked in the fuse box under the bonnet, all the fuses under there seemed to be ok.

Are there any other fuse boxes in the car, or do you know what could be causing these things to happen?

 

 

:bow: Any help would be appreciated as I have not had the car long and I have not got a clue!!!!! :bow:

Many thanks,

6 years ago pal!

you got a similar problem?

The fuse box cover will probably be labeled. if there is no cover, pull them 1 by 1 to check them :)
