Is there a fuse in the time delay relay that dims the interior lights after you shut the doors?

I really struggle with the tiny print in the Haynes manual :( but it looks to me as though the puddle lights (as well as some other things that one wouldn't expect) are fed from F20?

My previous question about the time delay relay probably isn't relevant as it looks to me as though the time delay doesn't serve the puddle lights.

What year and what model is your car?

If you put the info in the 'Drives' section of your profile it will save people asking  :y
