hey for starters this isnt my corsa but a friend and is willing to pay me if i get it right.
he has only recently brought his corsa and its a 1.4 sri 8v not sure on reg but i think its on a l plate
basicly he brought my headunit off me my dvd one (worked fine in my corsa) and it worked fine in his for 2-4 days.
now his eletrics seem to have gone shot,
His alarm interior light and horn dont not work as well as the headunit (headunit has been tested and still works in other cars)
also the car has angel eyes but with crap wiring, to make them work you have to twist 2 wires together to form the circuit, could this of shortened something?
was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this.
if you need more information i will try and sort it out as best as i can.
He also reakons he has checked the fuses and they are fine. (ill double check them tomorrow)
so whats up with the beast,
am sorry for my spelling.
thanks all

Its a fuse in the fuse panel, runs the MFD, interior light, centre console and radio all off one fuse. It may include the horn as well, I'm not sure on that one.
I *think* it is fuse number 1, top left - either 10 or 15 amp IIRC?
Wait for Richie to come online, and he will confirm if my fuse number is right or not

Fuse 1 is probably the culprit in this.......
There are two fuses that can cause this problem. Fuse 1 and Fuse 17, check them both
