Multiple lights out - fuses
Discussion
Looking for help please: Noticed from a reflection that one of my Mini Cooper F56's running lights was out and thought it a bit odd the car hadn't given me a warning on the instrument cluster. Anyway I checked when I got home to find loads of lights are not working: offside running light and indicator, nearside headlight, nearside repeater, rear foglight and entire rear nearside light cluster!
Thinking this surely isn't a dozen bulbs all having blown at the same time, it must be a fuse (or two) blown. Found the fuses behind the glove box though sadly no diagram/guide saying which is which, so held every fuse up to the light and all appear fine.
So does the current Mini have another fuse board elsewhere that I'm missing, might the old "hold it up to the light" check be unreliable, might a fuse have fallen out and gone missing (in which case what do I do), might the issue be something more sinister than fuses/bulbs, and why did the car not even notice and warn me?
Sorry for all the questions, apologies for my ignorance, and thanks for any advice!
