Unplugged a fuse and now lights keep flickering

[timpug]

Hey guys,

So I am leaving my car parked for a while and wanted to find the main fuse so the car couldnt be started etc. I tried to pull a few fuses and couldnt find the right one. I by accident pulled out a 20AMP fuse on the top right part of the fuse box.
I tried to find fuse box layouts but not sure if I have a Phase 1 or 2 to be honest.

I plugged the fuse back in, but then my headlights started to flicker. I got panicked and decided to unplug the brown relay under the steering column. It is a big 5 pin relay and heard it flickering every time the lights went on and off.

Can someone please tell me what I did and how to fix it? I cant clear the ECU yet, need to take it to a workshop for that sadly And this had to happen after I misplaced my key as well! What a day! FFS

Thanks a mill guys, appreciate your help

Were they flashing on and off? Sounds like alarm to me on a ph1. You need to put that fuse back in, relay back in and start the car and it will stop

Yeah flashing on and off, no sound or anything though.

I thought it may be the alarm, but I started it even. Let me take her for a quick spin and see then


Edit: Here is the fuse that I had to unplug to stop it

If not, another thing to try is take the battery off, fuse and relay back in, key to stage one and battery back on

Thank you kind sir, I shall try that next. I tried to take the battery off and plug it back in, but obviously a capacitor in the circuit kept charge.

So I just pulled the brown 25A relay out for the time being

Took her for a drive, no dice Still happens, left the relay out and thats that.

Ok so I left my battery off for 2 weeks while I visited SA and came back, put the brown relay back in, and the lights still flicker.

Is it possible I need to plug in an OBD port and clear errors/notifications?

I am not sure, at this stage I just left that relay out since its the alarm one as far as I can tell.
Any other advice or things I can try?

Thanks guys
