Interior/Dome Light Fuse for a 2008 Puma 90 XS
Can one of you please give me a definitive answer on the correct fuse for the interior/dome light for a 2008 90 XS Puma - the radio is dead as well and the red flash in the instrument cluster associated with the alarm. The Handbook is not too helpful here. Yep - I guess I blew the fuse when trying to install an LED alternative festoon-type bulb... ho hum..

Thanks for your help. Trevor Wright

Thanks - quite correct - all fixed now.

I wonder if there are any recommended LED Festoon replacements which do not have the effect of blowing 10A fuses...? Trevor Wright

It's not the bulbs per se. It's the fact that it's so easy to short one out on the large exposed back plate.

On mine, I covered the holes in the plastic chassis with plasticard to blank off the back plates to prevent this:
