Default Fuse for indicator lights?

I'm having some problems with my alarm (for a UK MY01 bugeye) - the relays get stuck in the alarm box for the indicators - the alarm disarms ok but the indicators can be stuck on. Usually after half a dozen locks and unlocks they unstick but last night I had to drive home with them all stuck on.

Whilst I'm waiting to get the box replaced - is there a fuse I can take out which turns off the indicators? I couldn't find anything in the manual or fuse box which seemed to involve the indicators.

Thanks
Richard.

Yep, had a look and the indicators aren't listed.

Could be down to them working from a relay not a switch - hence no fuse.

Anyway, disconnected the battery and car is booked in for Saturday.

relays are usualy fused as well as there basicly a switch if not on any of fuse panels then it'l be hooked up to run off your lights so if you take out fuse for lights should do it. other way did it on my last car was to disconnect hazard switch from connector on back of switch. so should be one of them.

Well, turns out the ECU in the alarm was buggered. Replacement was only £60 (ex vat) but 4 hours labour to diagnose the problem and fit it (dash off etc). So a £365 bill. Ouch
