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?

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

Great. My circuit shows f28 heater illum and f16 switch and panel illum.
Sounds like you just blew the one with a watch short!!
