Electrics stopped working?

[wildejon]

Anyone else had this happen or know what it might be? My remote locking, electric mirrors and windows all stopped working today. Everything else is fine though, any ideas?! The central locking still works fine from the key although I guess the alarm isn't on...?

Thanks in advance

fuse blown?

Blown fuse, without a doubt. All the things you mention are on the same fuse. Check the fuse box (behind cover at right hand end of dash, by the section the door closes onto) and the guide should let you know which fuse it is. I think it's 38, but don't hold me to that....

please o' please tell me you checked the fuse before posting!

Nope, I was really busy and annoyed

Only had the car a couple of weeks and I'm still getting to know it. Lots more electrics than my pug. Started a new job today too so had lots on my mind!

Thanks though, it was a fuse. I'll get another tomorrow if I have time and see what happens.

Thanks!

....ok, so it is the fuse. It keeps blowing though, seems related to the interior light... Not really sure how to solve the problem to be honest!

if the fuse keeps blowing i would guess you have a short circuit somewhere, dont know how you would go about finding it tho!

Me neither! Its deffo in the overhead light though, might try replacing the switch..? You never know
