few electrical faults

[SuperNovaTyler]

hi guys

i'm new on here and new to owning a Nova (bought a Nova 1.0 Active with some exterior mods on Monday)

so forgive me as i don't know much about them...

my interior light and the heating control switch lights don't work, also the stereo and not sure if there is a light for when you pull out the switch for the heated rear screen if that is meant to light up?

do they all run the same fuse or is it just a case of trial and error?

cheers

dash lights are a separate fuse to the interior light. more than likely have all blown rather than the fuse but worth checking anyway. I don't know the mk2 dash so i can only help if its mk1, If it is then the rear screen don't light up i don't think and if the interior light works off the switch (pulling out the headlight switch slightly) then the little door trigger things are probably corroded or knackered, take them off and clean the connections up or get new ones.
