What fuse for glovebox and interior lights?
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:43:43 pm »
I was trying to fix my glovebox light because it had stopped working. I finally managed to get the unit removed and get the bulb out which had clearly blown. However when I fitted a new new bulb it still wasn't working. It was at this point I tried to push the bulb back out of the holder with a screw driver but I had stupidly not disconnected the unit from the connector before I did this! This seemed to blow a fuse and the interior lights went out. As it was dark and pissing it down with rain I coudn't do much about it at the time. I looked in the manual and it doesn't seem to list the fuse for the glovebox or interior lights, so does anyone happen to know what fuse I will need to replace? Any help greatly appreciated!

Excellent, thanks!  :happy2: Fitted a new one and interior lights working again.
Don't suppose you know why my glovebox light still won't work though. I have tried several replacement bulbs in it and nothing will work. Can't understand it!
