Hi, I did a stupid thing whilst changing a fan relay in the under bonnet fuse/relay box, i forgot to turn off the ignition :o ::).
It sparked when i removed it using a screwdriver to prise it up and when i replaced it and went back to the ignition I'd lost all the dash warning lights and electric windows :-?.
Thinking it was a fuse i checked them and found a 15amp had blown in the box under the steering column, changed it but still no lights or windows :(.
I have the earlier model with just the one fuse/relay box under the bonnet, so can anyone tell me what's gone pop :question.
Thanks,
Pete :).

Thanks Rob I'll check the fuses again but seemed OK to me :-/.
As for the fusible links aren't they in the smaller fuse box which i don't have :question.

Yes Rob have checked all the fuses in both fuse boxes, the one under the bonnet and under the steering column and they look OK to me so am at a loss as to why i have no dash warning light or electric windows :(.
PS. I did notice that when i was sat looking at the dash with the engine running before i sparked the relay removing it that the battery light came on so i switched off and restarted and it went out, don't know if this means anything :-/.

Is everything else electrical working. Does the engine start

As far as i can see Rob yes and the engine starts fine, all the lights work including the dash light just not any of the warning lights at the bottom or leccy windows :-?.

No Rob, completely dead front and back, don't even light up :(.

Have you tried a multi-meter on the supply terminals of fuses #1&7 to check for power :question

I haven't been near the car for a week or so as i think it hates me :(, but went out yesterday and turned on the ignition and everything was working again :-?, really don't understand what's going on with this car, seems to have a mind of it's own >:(.
Think I'll call it [size=16]CHRISTINE[/size] ;D.
