[extra-ordinary_]

I know this is a common fault and mainly occurs when someone is changing a bulb or something, and in my case it's no different - as I was changing all my interior lights to LED. I couldn't get the electrical connector out of the passenger door puddle light as I was stretched over from the driver's seat and found the release clips really fiddly. I grabbed the light fixture to have a right go at it and either got a shock or a burn off a metal piece on the back of the fixture. I was sure just at that moment I heard a faint 'click' or 'snip' somewhere behind the glovebox. Anyway, end result is now I have no interior lights and when I went to lock the car the remote didn't work either. On doing a web search, everything was pointing to the 14 fuse by the driver's door, but when I examined it it wasn't broken and was continuous so I'm wondering what else could it be? Is there anything on the passenger side?

Just to add, I tried disconnecting the battery for ten minutes but it made no difference. Have also noticed the lights left on warning tone does not sound - although this may be not working a while as I've come back a few times to the car with the lights left on in the past couple of weeks.

Have you checked all the other fuses?

Will do. The other two fuses I'd seen mentioned were 38 and 6 I think, and 38 was good and 6 is a blank with no fuse in my car. I'll have another look this evening after work. Thanks for the help.

Just to clear this up...not sure what way I was looking at the fuse panel at the end of the dash with any diagrams I had consulted showing my panel layout in reverse, but it seems I was pulling the wrong fuse thinking it was 14 when after going through them all one-by-one I realised the 14 fuse was actually 1 position away and was indeed blown and all sorted once replaced.

Glad it's sorted.

Thank the fact that the panel normally is located on the otherside off the dash in LHD cars.
