URGENT hazard lights on all the time

[Antwon]

Hey guys i degreased, and hosed off my engine bay, and did have the radio in the car going, and the hazard lights started going off, so turned the ignotion off and finished hosing it off.

Turned it on to move it and it had a bit of trouble staring, but nothing major, then every time i revved it, no matter how big or small the hazards flashed once. So then i moved it, and disconnected the battery and continued cleaning it, connected the battery again, maybe 15 mins later? Hazards are flashing, started it, took ages for the fuel pump to prime but then started alright, took it up the street and back and it ran alright but hazards were flashing, and cant turn them off.

When the cars just sitting they flash for a while, then stop for a while, then flash for a while etc. For now ive put it in the garage and locked it which seems to have stopped the hazards.


Car is a 2002 AU3 XR6 HP (5 speed, if that makes any difference), with what looks like a factory optioned alarm (box next to brake booster with Form logo, and its also got a factory looking bonnet open/close sensor thing)
Also the ticking inside the car from the hazards doesn't sound like the normal indicator ticking.

Any help would be much appreciated, ive got no job at the moment and am desperately trying to get it to All Ford Day this weekend. :(
