I have just bought a 2005 1.9D Berlingo Multispace Desire for my wife to use to ferry kids and, on occasion, lots of boxes for her business. It is very tidy, has a 12 mth ticket and is a lovely runner. It was (I think) very reasonably priced and we were/are pleased - the kids love the cubby holes and having their own personal gloveboxes! It however came with no handbook or manual.
All good so far....
Got it back yesterday and noticed en route that the radio wasn't working and looked as if it had just been slotted in....so I removed it with a wire coat-hanger and could see that it wasn't connected. Probably removed for an aftermarket one and stuck back in before selling it on.
So (foolishly, I'm guessing) I reconnected the wires and slotted it in....I should have disconnected the battery I think*. Any way, it still didn't work and here's a thing nor does the; (i) the instrument cluster (ii) the instrument cluster lights (iii) the hazard lights (iv) the central locking switch and probably some other things. Everything major is fine, the lights, windows, heater, fan etc so it is drivable in the very short term, though best to be over cautious at speed cameras!
Taking into account the odd array of now non-working things I am guessing that it is a fuse that I have popped by being an idiot? If so which one(s) as I can't find a fuse diagram on here that looks anything like the fuse board that I can find to the right of the steering wheel. The one in our van only has two rows of fuses and not very many at that....
Any help or advice would be appreciated.....I need it!
* I offer no defence other than that I don't generally do DIY/car maintenance/anything remotely practical excluding the very simplest of tasks because....I am particularly rubbish at it!
