    Went to replace the centre interior light with a 12v led festoon bulb and now it seems the driver and passenger interior lights aren't working also. Wondering if I've blown a fuse? Anyone know which number fuse is for the interior lights?
    Fecking radio gone too. Surely they can't all be in the same fuse?
    Cheers.

    Sounds like your dome fuse is gone. Does the remote central locking work?

    Not tried that, will do in the morning. Might have blown it when I attempted to fit the new led bulb. Do you know if that fuse is found under the hood and what number it is? I'll check the manual in the morning.
    Is it a bigger issue if central locking not working?
    Cheers.

    Yeah it’s under the bonnet near the battery. It’s all labelled.

    Remote central locking gone too. Does that confirm it's the dome fuse?

    Switched out the fuse, it was indeed blown, and replaced with the appropriate spare in the fuse box, and the radio and vanity lights are back. Will check the central locking when I get the key from the missus.
    Thanks for the help.
    Hopefully I dont blow it again when I try change the dome bulb again!

    Careful with LEDs over there. Had to replace integration relay control module I fried. Thankfully ebay had 2nd hand one for approx 20.

    How did that happen? You'd think changing a bulb would be as risk free as it gets provided the voltage is like for like.

    It just happened. Put a LED, it shone, started to flicker after a while then module died.
