Hi there. Check the switch to the hazard lights and see if the switch got stuck. Sometimes the switch tends to stick and make the hazard lights stay on. If the switch is working, then the contacts in the switch have burned and fused together. Remove the fuse and remove the switch and replace it. Then put the fuse back in and the switch and it should normal. If you need further help diagnosing your vehicle, then seek out a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, to assist you with your hazard lights problem.
