hail hail, don't think the cluster illumination is linked to the courtesy lights ?

the exterior lights are all working fine as i drove back from work earlier but the switches that are wired up for the fog light (no fog light connected) lit up before and doesnt now so im thinking it could be that one so ill connect the fog light in the morning and see if that works.
ps is it you i pass at bearsden asda regularly ? im in a green aft with the decals removed from the aft .

In fact that explains why yer fuse went... (A short may have blown the fuse) & the chance is your tail lights don't work either...!
