   I put the wrong bulb in my rear light, stupid me... My dash lights will not work now, and even my lights for my heater will not work... Any ideas on this ? Tried looking at the Haynes data book but its a bit vague, tried searching on here and talks about fuses but cant find the fuses, looked in the bonnet and they a box full of fuses but don't have a clue... Been searching everywhere but still not resolution.
   
   
   Pretty sure it will fail its MOT without it
   
   EDIT: the engine lights still come on like handbrake, airbag etc...

   It's a blown fuse, happens when you put the wrong bulb in..
   
   Find it and replace.

   No it's a 30 AMP fuse in the glovebox. Top row if I remember correctly. Went through loads of them when I had my Saxo.

   Hmm in the glovebox, when I open the glove box it is really small, is it the little cap below the glove box or? Its a MK1 btw if that helps 1997 with electric windows and power sterring 1.1
