Fuse F8 in the BSI fuse box
You may have not found all the fuses, check Citroen C3 Fuse Box Locations topic and scroll down to 2006

If you don't have that fuse fitted, that explains why that circuit doesn't work.Dave Bannister wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 8:58 am thanks for your reply , but there is no f8 fuse ,or location in the bsi box inside the car
FIT the FUSE.
But be prepared to have that blow, because someone has been there before you and obviously removed the fuse for a reason (smoke?)

I doubt it.
Did you read the reply by Arfur Dent?
Did you follow his links to your problem?
You said this
But then you sayThe problem i have is that I have no dashboard lights ,stereo , clock and hazard lights .
the stereo took in a cd
So if you really did check all the fuses and you still have a fault like this, then the BSI is probably faulty and you will need a complete set of BSI, KEY and ECU to fix it, then reprogram it with Lexia.
But if you have a roof fault too, it is probably not going to be worth repairing.

This fuse supplies power to the instrument panel, aircon panel, central display and audio. There are two supplies of power to the radio F4 and F15. F4 is permanent power for the memory (and obviously loads CDs), F15 is "on " power.
Tail gate; If your central locking is not working check F16. If it is working, you should hear a very tiny "click" of the micro switch in the tail gate switch push button when you push on it. The usual suspect is the electrical micro switch or the mechanical actuator that you press to activate the switch. You can get to these by removing the inner liner to the tail gate.
