Owners Forums for Ford and Volkswagen MPVs / SUVs

I've been replacing a faulty cylinder head gasket and all has gone well except this last bit of snagging.
It is such a specific subject that I thought I should start a new thread for future reference, rather than have any help lost in my previous cylinder head thread. So here goes:

The hazard lights work (all 6 - 2 front 2 back 2 side) when the switch is depressed.

With Ignition off
Indicator position;
Left     - beep only
Centre - nothing ( no light no beep)
Right   - all lights flash at normal rate, but all 6, like hazard warning and there is a beep

With Ignition on
Indicator position;
Left      -  left direction indicators flash at normal speed
Centre  -  left direction indicators flash at normal speed (but shouldn't of course)
Right    -  all lights flash at normal rate but all 6 (like hazard warning)

Some background - this has stood idle for a month while I changed the cylinder head gasket.
I then tried jump starting it from an external battery with the leads the wrong way around.
Blew the purple 3 Amp fuse in the battery/auxillary fuse box, now fixed (thanks Chrispb)

If anything, I think that the hazard switch may be a bit stickier than it was.
Am thinking that step one is to remove it and clean it up.
Can anybody shine a light on things?
Cheers

With any electrical glitch on these cars it's always worth having a check of the wiring from car to doors and tailgate as they are prone to breaking and shorting across circuits.

And as above the hazard switch also needs to be checked out.
