HELP! Fuse, lights and an unhappy boy!

Hi everyone, love some help tonight to put my mind at ease.

 

First of all ...after two years of ownership, lovingly caring for with lots of servicing, complete underseal, T2 Dna discs, hawk pads, tein springs, all the paint work refeshed re-spraying front and rear bumpers, front wings and taking out any door dents, complete mop and detail, brake lines, wheel refurb, complete new scopion exhaust and y pipe...list goes on with other bits.

 

But with all this love she's not returning me much back!

 

Recently my the front left starting knocking badly, took it to a garage and they struggled to find the issue. 2nd told me it was the upper control arm. Replaced, but nothing wrong with it at all!! £75 plus labour down the drain. I am on here all the time and confident It is the banana arms from previous threads. took it to a 3Rd garage and what a surprise, spilt and worn bushes on the banana arms.They a going on Friday as well as belts and a service. Fingers crossed that fixes the issues.

 

Then someone hits my car and doesn't own up, splitting the rear bumper, breaking three clips and pushing the indicator light back. Took it straight to a body shop for repair. Collected it last night and he said the rear light had blown. No big deal get a new bulb and pop it in.

 

The repair guy got me another bulb and popped it in. Before it was put in I had all lights working other than the rear left side light. Turned it on and now I have no rear lights, no brake lights, no front side lights, no rear number plate lights. Reverse works, indicators works but I also have the EPS light on the dash, traction light on and abs lights all on.

 

so...fuse box, checked the normally one next to the battery. None of them seem blown. The other I can't find. US sites say it's under the foot well drivers, it's not after pulling it all apart. Others say it's hidden behind the normal fuse box under the battery flap.

 

So. Have I just blown a fuse? Is it the main easy to reach fuse box or the one hidden away somewhere.

 

Help is appreciated!!

There is one fuse located in the Intelligent Power Distribution Module mounted near the battery that controls the tail lamp relay. See the first picture in the upper right-hand corner. The fuse is number 75 and is a 10A. There are two other fuses in the ciruit that might be blown: #80 a 10A, and #73 a 15 amp. See the second drawing for fuse locations. EngineFuseBoxLocation.jpg
