It's the orange fuse I think, There is a spare one underneath it horizontally.
Just have a look if its the fuse, take it off and you'll see straight away

Check the wiring to the sender, sounds like its shorting somewhere.

Will i benefit from doing the paper clip test on this??? or will that just be a waste of time if a wire is shorted? see the management light does come on..... and stays on thanks..

It doesn't run from the same fuse as the interior light.
It shares the fuse with the cig lighter, and heated rear window if i remember rightly.
Its fuse 18, a 20A.
Interior light etc is the fuse next to it.

When my speedo stopped, my interior light didn't work, I remember, as it was dark and I had no light to change the fuse...
