Hello, I some how managed to touch the wires that are connected to light above door, courtesy light is it? Unplugged the light for new headlining fitment annnnnnd, bloody wires touched... I was listening to the stereo whilst happily working, which promptly went off, no power... :run

Checked all the fuses, nothing seems to have blown... have I pooped out the head unit? Any other ideas? Cheers in advance! :ok

The radio and interior light are on the same fuse 3. I would double check the fuse again.

It will be the fuse. Courtesy lights, cigarette lighter, stereo and clock all fed by fuse number 3 counting from the LHS of the fuse box. Just 'cos it don't look blown don't mean it isn't. Check it with a multimeter or temporarily 'borrow' a fuse of equal rating from another circuit.
