Scenic III - Hazard light issue

[savvy]

At despair now - my wife's 2010 Scenic for the past year or so has had this issue with the hazards turning on when starting the car.
No issue, just turn them off.

Lately it's got worse, hazards just come on randomly when the car is locked, usually as soon as you lock the car. Only way to stop them flashing is to start the car. Even then you can be pressing
the button for 20 minutes.

Weekend, the battery was drained. Google throws up lots of things that I think aren't quite the issue.

I've seen suggestions it could be the switch, UCH, etc but not convinced, I'm now fairly confident it's the alarm module that's gone. I'm biting the bullet and sending it off to a Renault specialist to fix shortly but I'd be interested to know if anyone here had similar and also, does anyone know where the alarm module for a gen 3 megane/scenic/grand scenic would live?

Well that would make sense. Last year the car flooded inside due to blocked drain holes which I later cleared after removing the wiper motors.

Thank you for the help. I'll be taking a look at this at the weekend!

Many thanks.

If I want to replace the alarm module, if this a dealer only type part? Will anything need coding?

This one isnt a stop start but is an April 2010 model

I've seen a few second hand modules on eBay from Meganes of the same age but won't buy if they won't work.

I'll call Renault and see if its covered under this recall. If not, how much for a new one I guess!

I did in the end and finding the answer on the Internet was impossible until I posted here.

Was indeed the alarm unit. Located behind the near side wiper motor. Didn't stop remote central locking working etc but simply removed it and the problem went away.

They're about 50 quid from Renault for a new one. Or half that from eBay. The part number is on the module.

Had so many issues, it was part ex'd eventually.

It turned out to be a module behind the passenger side wiper, under the bonnet.
Meant the alarm didn’t work but remote locking still did. Not tricky to do really.

Whilst there, poke a pipe down the water channel. This blocks. I had loads of water behind the dash which I heard swashing about after a downpour. Think this also causes the issue with the alarm module.
