Interior Light Fuses?

My interior light on the headliner doesnt work, i looked at my fuses under the steering wheel and there is one missing, it is the 5 amp one at the bottom on the middle row. im not sure if this is the right fuse or not but i went to halfords and tried to buy a fuse there but the only 5amp ones there wer just too small. anyone know where i can get hold of a fuse for this? any size codes or anything will be appreciated
cheers, scott

It may be a 10A fuse in the engine bay, as i blew mine a couple of days ago fitting a head unit. Spent about half an hour trying to find it! If the 'door open' light doesn't come on the dashboard either, then that's definitely it. i think it's the one next to the air conditioning fuse - and they are mini blade fuses. You can buy a pack of ten for a couple of quid on ebay! Frauds would probably charge you about a fiver.

Have you tried a bulb mate?

My interior light hasnt worked since ive had mine though so let me know what you find out

Try replacing F10 if its not the bulb,

Yeah that's the one i had to replace, although i don't think my fuse box looks like that diagram!

Thanks but the first thing i tried was the bulb and it didnt make any difference, ive also checked the fuse now and its fine. cant think of what else it could be. the actual points on the light look a little rusty but its not bad,
cheers

the fuse under the bonnet is called the dome fuse check dat.. did you also check to see if you have current comeing to the bulb unit?? there could be a break in the wire!!!

 

[Fletty]

i have no idea how to check the current in the wire, im no use with electrics :S

There is a fuse under the dash you should check, but it's also a 10A. If you're playing with 5A ones then you're looking at the wrong circuit

got it fixed now it was the dome fuse was blown and the connections on my light were poor so it wasnt conducting properly. its fixed now though.
thanks for all your help guys
