boot light problem...caused interior lights to not work

[1FATVZ]

hey guys,

today i got around to changing the bulb for the inside boot light which turns on when the boot is opened, (2005 VZ SV6 btw),

i went down to supercheap and got an identical bulb to put in,

the problem occurred when i stupidly removed the old bulb and just clamped the new one in instead of unplugging the connection putting the bulb in and then re-plugging it in.

when i installed the new bulb, i saw a little spark and later noticed the interior door lights, glove box and boot light that i tried to swap over weren't working,

now have a blown a fuse or something? if so, where is this fuse located?

cheers for any help.

under the steering wheel, look for the one that is blown!

stupid question, but how exactly do i get to these fuses?

under the steering column, just pull the plastic cover off from the top and it will clip off..

no worries, i think ive found the one thats blown (number 10, interior illum or something) but how to f**k do i get it out? its pretty tight :/

When u remove the plastic cover, you'll see the fuses on the right side. There is a fuse puller located at the bottom of the fuse panel.

Also with the boot light make sure the wires don't touch the body, thats wat will cause the fuse to blow
