Hello all - I was getting sick of stupidly leaving my interior light on and flattening my battery - So i decided to disconnect the light. I then realised that this also disconnected my radio so I reconnected everything. Whilst doing this a fuse seemed to blow.

After referring to this website I found the offending fuse which had blown and replaced it - However, when the interior light is plugged in the new fuse just blows immediately when inserted. If i unplug the interior light the fuse doesnt blow but both the light and stereo do not work

Is it safe to assume that this is a problem with my stereo fuse blowing the 10amp fuse?

Any help would be much appreciated

we dont do ladas here
have you come here by accidenthay?

SO...... you pulled out the interior light..

Plugged interior light back in when the radio didn't work

And now the light is blowing the fuse

Only obvious conclusion you pluged it back in wrong

I think he misread your name as Niva and was trying to be funny ...
Agree with Andy, reckon something's been reconnected incorrectly.

well my happy pills mustnt be working because i cant see where he has a

Mark 2 Punto (03 plate)

Yep, it's a mk 2 punto - Can't see how i've reconnected it up wrong - There's only one way to connect it!

Still having the same problem, is the F39 10 amp definately the fuse for the stereo?

ive got the solution to this conumdrum having solved it on a punto yesterday
it wasnt until i looked in the owners manual that the radio fuse does indeed control the interior light s too
this car came in with non working interior light no boot light fitted but working non factory radio but having removed it and fault traced all the wiring there were no issues
it was a faulty rear tailgate switch shorting out the fuse
luckily i found this within an hour because i had already removed half the dash looking for a broken loom and was thinking it was going to be an unrepairable issue (not a statement i like to make i might add)
a replacement of the switch on to the original key barrel sorted the issue
