I am not familiar with all of those symptoms, but it is possible (and I have done it) to blow a fuse when changing the interior light. Check all fuses.

i had caused a short and blown the fuse for the interior lights... when i checked the fuse originally it seemed ok but upon closer inspection with the aid of my torch it was indeed broken just very hard to see.... the central locking is on the same circuit due to the delay with the interior light and that is why it did not work... i can only say the trip computer must have kept resetting as the circuit kept shorting out..... all good now....

hey mate...had the same problem...u are on page 4....go to page 6 (dash flashes "S" on start up)...scroll down until u c the message from SHOOT and click on this link.. .... http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90889 .....it will show u the fuse 2 change 2 fix ya problem...most likely the blue fuse 15amp under the bonet....we just use a torch now as everytime try 2 change the interior light u will blow that fuse again...changing the fuse under the bonet will fix ya central locking and ya computer....on the drivers side near the door on our car is a fuse box...there are spare fuses there...just look in ya book 2 c the spare fuse location...good luck::)))

Every time something has stuffed up on our magna I have come here to this forum and our problems have been solved....THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN :)
