Interior lighting fault/broken

OK, to cut a long story short, my local dealership recently replaced my windscreen and in doing so, have stopped the interior lights from coming on when I open the doors! I had a quick look in the fusebox, and everything seems OK (i.e. it looks very fuse-box like) but regardless of the diagram, I cannot fathom which fuse is the right one. I am not even sure that the fuse is at fault really. I would really appreciate some pointers from those of you who have previously 'dabbled' with the electrics. Perhaps there is a wire that get's disconnected to stop the battery from draining when the doors need to be left open. I am stumped. HELP! I want to avoid another trip to LR if at all possible.

Sounds like they have been disabled. Press and hold the interior light centre switch (front) with the ignition on - you should get a message confirming that they are now on.

I got bored with the manual. Things that should work, didn't. Buttons which should be there weren't. I'd rather pick stones out of my bike tyres.
