For no apparent reason

Put the clutch in to turn into a road. The interior light came on. This confused me! so I was looking at that. Turned around, and the dash lights were on. I pulled up and turned the engine over. Starter motor just keeps turning. Not firing/starting.

One other thing - The interior light wouldn't turn off.

Help?

I changed the spark plugs this afternoon.

Don't want to call out Green Flag yet. Might wait until tomorrow so I can get it towed to my Mechanic.

does the interior light usually come on when the ignition is turned off - i.e. so you can see where things are before you get out etc

Keeps Popping fuse 26. FI - I Think this is Fuel Injection

Hoping it isn't any kind of wiring fire.
