I hate to suggest it, as I'll likely be ridiculed for doing so, but have you checked your Haynes manual wiring diagrams?

The connector in the second photo might also be for the cassette player ???
It is hard to see how many terminals it has: 5 or 7? Antenna lead would be nearby too.

What colour is the wires at the back of the plug?  I'm thinking it's for auxiliary fog/driving lights.

I have seemingly related electrical problems where the hazards and indicators buzz, and the horn and interior light also dont work. I will be checking the grounding connections to see if that is the cause.

But what I'm wondering about: Do these connections on the Hazard switch look correct to you? The bottom connections aren't being used which is strange.

Also, I have a disconnected wire+connector hanging out behind the facia (shown in the second picture) Does anyone know what that is from?

(Mini is a 94 Spi)

Thanks
