PLease could someone tell me where to find the hazard light relay on an S1 95MY Xantia?
When I indicate (right or left) ALL the indicators flash (but not the hazard switch light). I deduce that the hazard relay has stuck on (return spring broken?). But if anyone knows better....
The car has got a tow hitch with full electrics (and the trailer repeater now flashes). I don't think the 'trailer' relay is a potential culprit. On the rare occasions when I've used the hazards my attention has been on something else, so I've no idea what the trailer repeater normally does when the hazards are on.
Thanks in anticipation.

Item 12, near the top of the fuse box, above the brown diagnostic socket.
The felt cover will need removing to get to it.
It’s a light grey, garden-variety 3-pin blinker from the steam age.
If the lights flash, I would expect the fault to be somewhere else, like in the hazard switch itself.
Normal left or right blink function always passes through the hazard switch.
I fiddled there recently, and the switch has 8 pins, BoL item 2300.

Many thanks for the help and the piccy.
I found it no problem (it has a an extra wire coming from it - presumably for the trailer tell-tale) under a fat plastic finger from the trim panel, that prevents it coming out. Tried the indicators and hazards - all now working fine.
A bad/stuck contact somewhere and by poking around I've 'fixed' it for now. I do so hate automotive electr(on)ics - everything designed and made as cheaply as possible.
A print of the diagram is going in the handbook against the next time.
Now I can go and do the week-end shopping - Oh Joy!
