Fuses

[pete white]

hi, decided to get the coolant circulation pump checked as the familiar humming sound after engine shut off disappeared also aux heater had been playing up. anyway took it to a independent garage whose 'bread and butter' comes from servicing vw and audis. they could not find a fault and said they would not charge, i thought great no loss. however when driving home a fuse fell out onto my foot. got home checked what wasnt working turned out to be rear window demister. after putting fuse back in it still does not work just a clicking sound fom fusebox. also found out central locking not working, same clicking sound. also when pulling the fuses out, checking them, i must have pulled a main fuse out because it made a clicking sound when it came out and i had to put radio code back in and the trip computer had reset to zero including the miles left on fuel indicator which oesnt read properly now according to the fuel gauge needle which is working fine.

have i bust a relay

do i need to reset something to align the digital reading of miles left with the fuel gauge needle

thanks

Got to agree with GG,,,,,go back to garage and make a lot of LOUD noise,,,,,,,,,,even though it was a free check, u now have other problems from this "bread and butter" garage,,,,,,,,,

 

 

 

 

or u could disconnect the battery for a few mins ,,,,, and see if that resets anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the replies, managed to sort the problem out, put the fuse in another slot and all okay. the slot for the rear window demister is empty now but the the thing works. fuse layout card is a load of tosh
