today i was trying to sort out the wiring for the rear fog light it works with the switch on the old conector so i wired up the mk2 switch and it didn't work so i tryed to light it up with a wire between te terminals to check the switch and i sliped and put it in the wrong hole.

there was a flash behind the dash and now it dosnt work at all. iv checked the fuses but they all look ok what could the problem be.

thanks
