Hi guys, made a idiots mistake and shorted the contacts when changing a bulb. Now the car won't start and central locking won't work. Car does turn over though but won't catch. I'm assuming I'v blew a fuse but which one do I look at?
btw, this was changing the interior boot light.
All replies are welcome as I need this sorting ASAP 
Edit: It's plexed... Central locking works but not with the remote

I'v checked all the fuses... It's just the interior light one that's gone. The car should start without it right... so BSI Reset time I think...

Doesn't sound good.
Edit:
Try leaving the battery disconnected for a few mins, then do another BSI reset.

Have you physically removed every fuse?
