Check the relay for the hazard warning lights. Loose connection / wire or failed relay would be my first place to start.

Might be worth disconnecting the alarm and seeing if it still blows the fuse if the relay is functioning as ot should.

Could you tell me how to disconect the alarm.thanks again.Rob

Check the relay first. Pretty sure on the 3200 the alarm is behind the side panel passenger side of the rear seating area.

@conaero or @Contigo can confirm the exact location.

If the alarm unit has gone faulty it can short the circuit for the hazard lights so will blow the fuse as soon as you arm or disarm the alarm and lock / unlock the doors.

Link below shows the panel you need to remove.

Abacus alarms do replacments if needed.

Check the relay first though as first port of call.

I cant help with the relay location as it is different on the 3200 than the 4200/GS

It will be in the manual if you have one with the car. If not i am sure one of the resident 3200 owners will be along shortly to share the location.

Possibly in the passenger side footwell/ glove box are i suspect.

@conaero @Contigo can either of you assist roofline further.
