I think you may have checked a wire with the cage. Remove and have a good gander?

as far as i can see there is no damaged wires or something come disconnected.the cage is only a short ssony one so when ive pinned it back it hasnt caught any wires.i took the panel out underneath climate control an theres no loose/damaged wires there :S
whats the verdict then.that i keep looking for a damgaged wire??

Strange one, maybe you have tugged a wire, that can blow a fuse quite easy,
the panel is at the side of dash just pops off, worth having a look through them aswell.

yea i thought that bur sureley it wouldnt cause climate control to go out too :S
ill have a look now

A lot of fuses/wires run of each other especially since they are so close to each other.

ahh no fuses have gone either :dead:
this is driving me mad :(
does anyone know if theres a wire thats going to connect
1.dash clock diplay
2.cd player
3.climate control
this must be some sort of power cable that ive disconnected/damaged
because all these turn on simultaneously on ignition
i presume :S

ahh yes ive fixed it :D managed to work out it had to be a fuse.and even though ive been through them once when i went through them again the last one i checked (as always)
had blown
think it was for electric mirrors
pretty mad how it caused all that :p
i dont mind im happy now
thanks guys
