I'm a TOOL! Me being the fiddling, think i know how to do things kind of guy have managed to break my sunroof both windows and interior lights! :embarassed: When i got the car on friday it had what i can only describe what looked like a hands free Mic? (small grey looking thing) hanging out the edge of my interior light, it was really annoying me as it was hanging out and had left marks on the headliner so i cut it off with wire cutters. Still with me? Since I've done that my windows, sunroof, interior lights and my central looking key doesn't work?? Anyone got any ideas, replies really appreciated michae!

I'm by no means a car guru but it could be as simple as a house circuit. If one bulb blows your lights go off at the mains in your house. It could be by cutting this out your car has disabled that circuit.
I don't know how to do it but I think the solution would be to disconnect the mic (if that is what it is) at the main circuit and then the car should be ok with supplying the power.
The alternative is that your car is still sending power to a cut wire - which is not too wise regardless of voltage.
If anyone knows any better please correct me

I'm also not an expert but the simple rule is: broken circuit = no lights
If you follow the wire back and remake the circuit using connector block or whatever you should be okay. Good luck!

I tried just reconnecting the supposed mic back on by twisting the wires into each other but nothing? Also checked the fuses aswel and all seems fine.
-
Did you test the continuity of the fuse as they can be gone when they look ok
-
Possibly it's a microwave sensor from an after-market alarm system? The sometimes look like little mics.
Do you have the standard security from factory?
Just guessing but sounds like it's effect your convenience comfort module somehow. I recently had trouble with mine.
Dealer wanted £350 but look on ebay. You can often find them for under £100 and they are under ten minutes to fit. Dead easy.
Good luck sorting it.

Tried connecting it back together with a connector block and still nothing? Whats a convienance comfort module? Could it possibly be an immobilisher and it's went into deadlock or something? How can you tell that a fuse is gone and how do i go about checking it? thanks for the help guys appreciate it.

Pull out the fuse and replace it - you'll see the broken wire inside
-
deffo a fuse this happened to me when fiddling with my sunroof, its a 10amp fuse and for some reason number 14 or 16 comes to mind.
-
fuse i bet ...when you cut it, it would have shorted it and blown a fuse ...is the mic thing wired up to light...... :cool:
-
i dont know if it is a mic thou, i would get a picture uploaded for you guys to guess yourself but dont know how to upload, so if i rewire it up and change the fuse you reckon the windows, interior light, sunroof, and the bong when you leave the lights on when the doors open and my key will work again??
-
I would guess a blown fuse.
