Got in the car this morning.
Turned ignition on.
Hazard lights came on :?

I don't think I'm that scary!

Anyway, turned them off and away we went without issue.

It's not like you can accidentally turn them on, given the daft location of the button, and no, they weren't on when I parked the car a few days earlier :?:

Perhaps the car alarm was activated earlier at some point for some reason?

That’s what I thought ... it’s in a cell black spot so the tracker service wouldn’t notice.

Nothing amiss though.

No problem.

Its just your Turbo saying it loves you and it really does not want you to change to another car.

Goron you seem to have started something. Started the car and moved it out of the garage and parked it outside all ok. Went back into the house to close up and then returned five minutes later, jumped in and restarted to find the hazard lights on. Defiantly hadn't been near them. Simply hit the button and turned them off again. I suppose its almost Halloween.
