Blown fuse matey

I think the fuse you are lookng for is in the driver footwell on the right hand side, assuming you are talking about an FD.

Defo fuse though, the interior light will not work either.

Won\'t be a 30 amp fuse !!

Should be more like 10 - 15 tops.

I think they are all in teh footwell.  Check each and every one visually you are bound to find one that has gone.

Failing that, if that is defo the right fuse 30 amp is far too big, so perhaps it might have surged.  Just check ALL fuses in the car I am sure you will find on ethat has blown.
