I've obviously done something wrong and now my trip computer display's decided to keep itself permanently backlit! Anyone have any ideas on what I've done and how to fix it?

Fuses: I've blown F25 a couple of times
Wires: Currently there's 2 unconnected wires attached to the instrument console, and 4 unconnected wires soldered to the trip comp PCB. All connections are electrically sound.
When trying to get something to work I had:
Trip comp pin 5 -> switch -> (sometimes resistors) -> earth
Trip comp pin 6 -> attached to wire 4310 (brown) on the instrument cluster cable
Trip comp pin 10 -> attached to wire 465 (grey) on the instrument cluster cable
Trip comp pin 12 -> nowhere yet

Hmm there doesn't seem to be an F25A in the haynes, but I'm not going to rule it out! and I'll have a look tomorrow.
Have I mentioned yet that I REALLY hate the fusebox position? Sucks to have to change fuses by kneeling in the road no matter how wet/cold it is

no sh*t!
The Mk.1 Laguna one is just as bad. It's a shame they seem to be pretty crap now. Back in the day my dad had a Lada Riva and the Haynes manual despite being half the size of the 406 one, was incredibly detailed and couldn't be faulted at all
