Default Help!!!!!!!!!

I was working on the trunk lights and blew a fuse.

I have pulled and looked at all the fuses I can find and I still can't find the blown fuse for the interior lights.

HELP!!!!!!!!! Where do they hide the fuse? The manual is no help at all.

The sticky at the top of the forum (FAQ's) has the info on fuse numbers and such, I believe there are 5 fuse boxes on our cars, one either end of the dash, 2 under hood and one in the trunk

Five fuse boxes and about as many computers. Welcome to the exciting world of British Motor Cars.

Thanks again.
On your shifter plate there's a plastic six-point (I recall) screw. Under that is the release so you can get out of Park when your electrical is out.

Thank you for telling me about the fuse boxs at the ends of the dash.

I pulled open the drivers side and within seconds I found the 15amp fuse , replaced it and everything is working again.

Did you know that if you blow that fuse you will not be able to get the car out of park? The release is on the interior light fuse as well.

Thanks again.
