Fuse 21 20Amp.
Ribbon cable.
Are your wipers working?

I had a similar problem (headlights not working, full beam/sidelights ok) and it was the headlight switching unit on top of the fuel tank in the boot that had burnt out.

As suggested prior mate, if the wipers don't work it will be one of the ribbon cables or possibly the PCB board that is attached to the steering column....

I am having teh same problem at the mo, changed the 5.5M cable behnd the steering wheel (usual suspect) and still only the horn button worked, all fuses are ok so it has to be Either the 2nd cable that runs down the steering shaft or teh PCB board.... I ahve been reliably informed that teh PCB this wire connects in to also has something to do with the Indicators (of which mine don't work) so if your indicators aer fine it is one of the cables.

the Steering wheel cable cost £23 Plus VAT and postage (20 min job tops to sort), the 2nd ribbon cable will set you back £9.50 and the PCB is 70 odd quid plus VAT... slightly harder to fit because you have to take the steering column to bits !

Best of luck mate, I hope it is just teh 5.5M cable

Could be the main beam button, or the two very thin & pulled tight wires that are soldered to it.

I haven`t checked to see whether the wipers are working but will do so this evening. Hopefully it`s just the fuse. Thanks for the advice chaps
