Fuse C3 on your 2001 car controls the alarm control module, the interior lights and the power windows.
That was a foolish thing installing a 40A fuse instead of a 15A fuse - you have not only burnt off the conductor insulation but could have seriously damaged whatever piece of equipment was causing the original fuse to blow & just as easily burnt your car to the ground.
Just hope its not damaged the alarm control module.....
