   I recently took out the centre console, and while unplugging the radio the car lights went out. The dials will flicker when I turn the headlights on! Does anybody know whats up, if its just a fuse or something? Thanks in advance

   if it was a fuse, there wouldn't be any flickering sounds like you've pulled a wire loose mate.

   check fuse f4, bottom row third from the left. if that's not blown, would suggest removing centre console and looking for any trapped/cut wires.
