First of all remove the fuse that you've put in the wrong place.

Get the correct fuse layout diagram - (try and find one online although I think it's in the handbook?) - and go through each one to check they're all correct. Then check for blown ones and replace.

Finally you'll need vcds to clear the fault codes.

Quick tip. If ever removing any fuses always take a picture of the fuse box with a good camera. That way you can always print out the picture for reference.  :happy2:
