Check all fuses in the car and also in the engine bay. Check relays or at least swap around the same types to eliminate that.

If that fails, disconnect battery for ten minutes and try agian.

Hope that helps or im out of ideals.

Grab the yellow surround and pull it up, it won't come off all the way. Then use the fuse remover from the inside fuse panel to remove the fuses. If you do find a blown fuse, you'll more than likely need to reset your ecu, explains how in the manual. Real easy. If driving a 3rd gen, that is. Which you are. :)

Yeah, will be a firm pull needed. Might run rough for a little while while everything re-settles but will work itself out. Bein manual, might not be an issue as mine only runs funny at idle in gear so you might not have the same issue.

Can leave it till tomorrow. It'll sort itself out after a couple runs. Drive as per normal, just watch for low idle, might try and stall at lights, lol.
