Any help or pointers appreciated!
I have just installed a OEM OBC which apart froma a couple of initial issues seems to be working ok now except for the code immobiliser function which I expect is something to do with the After market Vision alarm fitted.
Anyway refitted all the trim and reassembled the dash all seemed at well with the world! Being a nice dry day went out for a drive during which the warning panel alerted me to no brake lights. ( came on while sat at a roundabout) stopped and checked to find fuse blown. However while troubleshooting found when turning the ignition on the right indicator would come on by itself? If I put the hazard lights on the right and left indicators would flash at a different cadence? Also heated seats stopped working.
Brake lights blew a second fuse so checked the switch and connections and reseated relays and fuses in the FB. Tried again and things seemed to be sorted but now the hazard warning light is really bright when the lights are on(the same brightness as when they are working in the day)although it does dim with the rheostat, i'm sure it used to be gently on when the lights were on. There is a tap off the hazard light wiring to the alarm.
Should I try and remove the alarm/ immob as this is the only thing i can think I might have disturbed apart from the standard behind dash wiring, or is something more sinister afoot?
