Hi fellas,

 

I installed new loudspeakers in the back of my hatchback mk1 and I had to strip the C pillar trim to have better acces. When doing this, I had to remove the boot lamp (it was getting hot and almost burned my hands a couple of times) and somehow I've damaged something because it's no longer working (no light). I checked the connector to be in it's place, trying to re-seat it and also checked the bulb which looked ok at that moment (there is another electronical thing in the lamp which I might have blown). After that, I noticed that the boot lid is no longer unlocked when the car is, but when pulling the lever near the driver's seat, is ok. I tried to use the driver door panel switch to lock/unlock the doors but still no luck. 

Is there any fuse that I should check ? Have you encountered this problem before?

Sounds like a fuse

(there is another electronical thing in the lamp which I might have blown).

 

It's a diode which I doubt you would have blown but it's easy to check by powering the lamp directly from your battery or other 12v DC source. As Kgod1991 said, check your fuses.

Thank you! Do you know which fuse should I check?

Update: The night (and the bloody rain) arived and I noticed that the interior light is no longer working, with the door opened or by using the switch. It seems to be a faulty fuse indeed. I will have to check the map..tomorrow.

Interior lights are fuse number 4  (10 Amp). http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/294383-the-mki-fabia-fuse-layout-post-updated-with-bulb-types/

 

If your car is LHD it might be different, I'm not sure.
