Some electrics not working

Still bringing my Bongo back to life after approx. 6 years in garage.
Engine now running but have spotted a few electrical issues:
-Indicators not flashing (just rapidish clicking) - dodgy relay?
-Hazards not working - nothing - not even clicking?
-Rear break lights not working
-Soft close mechanism not whirring like it used to. Sure this was working a couple of weeks ago.
Other lights and electrics seem to be ok.
Any suggestions for any/all of the above problems?
I've not tried changing any of the bulbs yet.
Ta
Tony

Indicators rapid flashing suggests a blown lamp.
hazards is a single switch that earths an input to the Flasher module, given that the flasher module appears to be working (to some extent) I'd work on that after you have sorted the bulbs out.
Brake light check bulb and earths again.
Soft close mechanism is often simply out of sync after disconnecting/flattening the battery, either try the Hand slap in the middle of the door (HARD) or take of the panel and push the rotating mechanism round with a screwdriver!

Thanks.
Need to figure out how to access the indicator lights. Would a single indicator bulb failure potentially cause all not to work?
Have given the sliding door a good few whacks from inside (whilst closed), but still no whirring. Maybe need to remove the door card.
Cheers
Tony

Thanks. Looks like front indicator cluster just held in by 1 screw. Needs a bit of persuasion to get it out to get at bulb.
