Anyone clued up on fuse boxes/relays?

Just wondering if anyone knows the easy way to fix a fuse box/relay problem? (although there probably is no easy way! :banghead: )
All that doesn't work is my hazard warning lights. The indicators themselves are fine, I've fitted the correct fuse needed for hazards, but it blows as soon as I put it in. All the others are fine.
Presumably this means a relay problem. How do you go about sorting that out? I've got rid of the lower dash and lowered the fuse box to reveal the relays and mass of wires… :twisted: Just need a bit of help! The manual doesn't go as far as is needed for this problem.
I'm going on a long journey soon, motorways etc, so I'd like the option of having hazards!  :(
Thanks for any help. Lot to learn!

Diesel,

I'd replace the relay and the hazard switch after checking the continuity of the wires.

Cheers beatle...I posted the problem a while back..and yes it was the switch that was dodgy. I fitted a different one and hey presto! It had to be that really, cos the indicators run off the same relay as the hazards, I think, and they worked fine on their own. :wink:
