Hallo,

Today I changed the Bulbs for the Fan speed Switch, easy job but I had the ignition on to see if the light works and accidentally touched the flat brass wire with my Metal Watch.
The light went out immediately, now i habe no light on the Speedo, Heater Switches and the Button below for the Windows.
I have checked the fuses but I can't find any specifically for the light.

Everything works, but no lights

Any ideas or there are hidden fuses?

If it's a face-lift then Drivers knee fuse box. Fuse 17.

Checkt all fuses a second time and replaced one by one.
No. 16 was the bad one
