OK so this morning was a bad time to unexpectedly need to use the Chim to get to work. As the dash was in pieces from the weekend's dash change operation, I thought no problem, I'll just plug in the switches and off I go rolleyes

Well, one misread wiring diagram later and the hazard lights and alarm have stopped working. Everything else is fine, headlights, sidelights, indicators yada yada.

Is it likely that the alarm is on the same fuse as the hazards (95 Chim, old style dash, standard alarm operated by keys rather than plipper), and, anyone got any idea which fuse is the hazards???

In my experience the quickest/easiest way is to check all the fuses! Pull each one out and look at the contact to see if it's broken or not. You might also find that the problem could be due to a faulty relay but i'm not sure about this?
