Default HELP!!

Just wondering whether anybody could help me. A few weeks ago i took the battery out of my Series One to paint the battery tray. I went to start it for the first time since doing this just the other day and now there is no power at all - no hazards or anything. There's nothing wrong with the battery and think ive checked over most things. The only thing i think it could be is summit to do with the alarm. I have a Toad alarm fitted which currently has no LED lit up at all. Does anybody have anything they could suggest or know what is up with it???? Cheers

Alarm will NOT affect HAZARD LIGHTS.
As said check the connections carefully, remembering that ford have a trick of putting a LIVE in a black sheath to battery pos on some cars.
As there was no problem before battery off it has to be here, check battery voltage too!!

Are you sure the battery is fine ? How many weeks was it off the car ? Batteries go bad if they're left uncharged for a while.
