Hi all,
Well the new amplifier arrived today, I plugged it in to test it before fitting and it was working well, so I set about installing it.
During the installation I had a battery charger on keeping the battery topped up whilst the doors were open.
As I was bolting the divider/mounting plate back into position I inadvertently let the metal ratchet handle touch the live wire coming into the fuse box, this created a short between the fuse box live and the car bodywork (see attached photo). There were sparks and scorching on the bolt that the ratchet was attached to.
I finished bolting everything up and turned on the ignition and the MMI has stopped working and I have gained a 'parking brake malfunction' on the DIS display.
I ran a VCDS scan and got the following faults for the parking brake, I have cleared them but they come straight back:

VCDS can't make contact with any of the MMI system components.
I have checked all the fuses but they all seem good.
Any ideas chaps?
Thanks
