Cabin Fuse box

[Gazza450]

I decided to upgrade the interior lights on my 2007 V8 Vantage to LED bulbs. All went well with all the new LEDs working until I swapped the boot bulbs when I think I managed to blow a fuse. According to the handbook, fuse F47 in the Cabin Fuse Box operates the interior lights/ seat switch pack/ glovebox/ fuel flap release/ boot accessory socket so I assume that’s the one that’s gone.
Strangely the glovebox and fuel flap still work but the roof, footwell, boot lights and drivers seat fore/aft and recline buttons have stopped working. However the drivers seat electric lumbar still works and the passenger seat fully operates.
I thought it was going to be an easy job to change the fuse but rather embarrassingly I can’t find the cabin fuse box. I believe it should be in the passenger footwell but I’ve looking high and low (I think) but can’t see it.
Can somebody on here please point me in the correct direction and maybe suggest why some of the circuits that are covered by F47 are working and others are not. Thanks in advance. G

Its definitely there. Peel back the carpet (secured by double-sided tape). You will find an aluminum plate on the kick panel. I think it's ten hex to undo, and you'll find the fuse box there. You have to remove that fuse BEFORE replacing the bulb in the boot for some reason or else it blows. So change the bulb, Then the fuse, and you should be good. I know because this happen to me and some others when upgrading the bulbs. Good luck! James

If its like the later cars, behind the passenger footwell carpet is a metal panel held in place by multiple fasteners....behind which is the fusebox...I was surprised how over engineered it looked!
I have a workshop manual I found somewhere on the internet. Looking at the fuse list some stuff like the seats have multiple supplies. The 5 amp fuse I guess is just the switch lights, power to move the seat is a separate 25 amp supply.

Bob/James, Thanks for the quick responses. I did pull the carpet back but couldn’t see the fuse box. Didn’t think it would be under the aluminium cover, not very handy if you blow a fuse when you’re out and about!!
I’ll give it a go and report back. Cheers Gareth

Indeed.
I put some spare fuses and the necessary Allenkey into my toolkit.

Just to confirm, replaced blown 5amp fuse (F47) and everything working again. James is spot on with his advice, thanks! Wonder why the LED bulb supplier doesn’t state that the fuse will blow when the boot light bulbs are changed.
