Lightning issues VZ Calais

[Nazza 2003]

So basically all my interior light's door lights and boot lights aren't working. Replaced the lights above the number plate I now have a boot light but when I turn my interior light switch on it is making a whining noise were my fuses are. Any help or advice is muchly appreciated

Make sure the correct fuse is in.
Remove all the bulbs. Start testing and adding bulbs one at a time. You want a multimeter ideally. See voltage is going to the circuit.

Check the relays. The fuse panel cover under the steering wheel shows fuse ratings, locations and purposes.

Lightning will cause all sorts of expensive problems.

If your cars been hit by lightning, you’re luck you survived
I’d sell the car and buy a lotto ticket

When you say you replaced the lights,
Did you replace them with Incandescent globes?,
Or,
LED globes ?

Incandescent globes mate. And I've just realised my headlights aren't working either

It sounds like a Earth/Ground connection,

Car starts ok ?,

I’d be checking every fitting with a multimeter,

Then possibly back probing the circuits.

None bro. Could it be my bcm module. My drivers side seat only works when the car is running and my.side mirrors only sometimes work. I'm picking up a new switch tomorrow

Car starts fine I've got an abs fault but my battery went flat so pretty sure that's what I'm getting a fault on dash
