Fuses

It seems like a fuse has gone, but I really cant find wich one!

Its affecting the makeup mirror lights and the reading lights next to the main light in the roof.

Seems like all the fuses are OK, both inside the car and in the enginebay.

Thanks for any advise

I think you'll find this thread really helpful in tracking down the offending fuse:

Good luck!

All the best,

Passenger compartment fusebox :-
F14 10A Constant power to interior/ reading lamps

Check the bulbs are all ok, check the above fuse, check power is reaching the bulb holders. Both the LH and RH vanity mirror lights and the Front interior light (incliudes LH / RH map reading light & interior light) are all earthed at E5 (Earth stud) which is on the LH door sill (behind the plastic interior trim I think?) this should be checked for making a good contact. (ie. nut / ring terminals tight with no corrosion).

Thank you for your answer. The thing is that the main interior light works perfectly. And I do believe i checked all possible fuses inside .
