What have I broken, or is it just a fuse?
I went to change a bulb in the boot, the forward-facing one in the rear sill, intending to put a "better" LED in as I have a couple spare.
While I was at it I checked the 2 in the boot roof to see what they were, but left them alone. Just popped the holders out, had a look and put them back.
While trying different bulbs in the sill holder I realised they had all gone dim and eventually went off, apart from the one I was changing which was just very dim.
Then going into the car I realised all the courtesy lights were dead too, only the map lights would come on at all, again dimly.
I figured I must have done something, but what?
And finally the indicators didn't flash when locking or unlocking the car.
It starts and runs OK and the indicators work normally.
And the puddle lights and footwell lights are OK too, as are the mirror lights in the sun visors.
There's no relevant references in my drivers handbook so I'm guessing it's something in the footwell "box of tricks"
Thoughts anyone?
