I have been using cellulose as it's user friendly for a novice like me. I don't have any breathing apparatus or spray booth so can't use 2 pack. Is it true that 2 pack takes a while to dry? cell is ok but it involves more work to spray and afterwards as it need to be buffed to bring out a great shine

Check the in-line fuse rather than those in the fuse box. There should be a white plastic holder just below the main wiring harness close to the control box and fuse box on the bulkhead. The function of that fuses is to protect the sidelight circuit. Could easily have blown if you touched wires to ...
