Default No dimming mirror or ambient lights

Hi guys,

Is there a fuse that covers the above? The courtesy lights and map reading lights are all fine, front and rear. However, my dimming mirror is no longer working, and neither are the little red LEDs that sit in the mirror and the LEDs that are on the rear courtesy light bank at the back.
The centre button no longer lights up either but the courtesy lights still work when they should and manually too. Bizarre!

Is there a fuse and if so where? Huge thanks!

...and should have confirmed, it's a 2003 model without the interior lighting pack, just the standard. Thanks

fuses are either side of the dash.
Give them a quick check but get VCDS on it.

Well... I took a punt on fuse 13 on drivers side. Fuse was fine - roof electrics was the circuit. But, pulling it out and pushing it back has done the trick and must have reset something somewhere.

All seems well

Not too sure... But glad that seems to have reset and brought it back to life! I've been away for 6 weeks and the car has been with my dad who kept it ticking over. Having left it for a fortnight it apparently warned him the state of battery charge was low so I just wonder if it shut that circuit down and it didn't boot back up again when the car became fully charged again.
