instrument lights

If the vehicle was registered in 2003 as per the opening post, then I think that likely makes it an M59 and not an M49.

J S, if the front of your vehicle looks like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:...rlingo.jpg
then it's an M49

then it's an M59

hi nsf yep m49, looks like 1st pic, old style lights ( p.s does this vehicle supposed to have central  ? )

Ah, that's a surprise - your M49 must be one of the last registered, as the M59 was already out by 2003 (think it came out at the end of 2002).

My M49 van doesn't have central locking, but then it's an ultra-basic model.  No central locking, no electric windows, no power steering - it doesn't even have the protective plastic rubbing strips along the side of the bodywork.

That's what the Citroen system (Servicebox) says.

Have you looked behind the glovebox? I expect they mean the one under the steering wheel, but they differentiate the mentioned fuse box from the BSI. I've not had an M49 so not had to find that myself. My 2003 was an M59.

Anyway those diagrams come straight from Citroen so I doubt it's too far wrong. Just trying to help...if it's not what you wanted then just ignore it.

yeah  zion, think it means under the steering wheel, but these electric diagrams are great so thanks for your help, will post on here when i find the solution

No worries mate.

Hopefully you can find that fuse F8 as by the looks of the wiring diagrams it controls the main feed to both the interior lights and the radio / display so that would explain the issues you're having.

mystery solved, shunt fuse in wrong position

You're the second person with a shunt (SH) link in the wrong place, how did that happen?
