The hazard lights turn on by themselves when the car is being driven down the highway or if it’s parked with the ignition off. ---

The relay that controls the hazard flashers could be bad. Those relays will sometimes act up after a jump start. A failing body control module is another possibility but let’s put a pin in that for now. A good mechanic who knows Hyundais will be able to determine if the relay is faulty. ---

Before you go to a lot of trouble, be sure to check the obvious! It has to be that the blinker fluid is low. You can find out on YouTube how to do it. ---

There is no relay for the hazard lights. The BCM controls the function of the hazard lights. > **[5 Common Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module (BCM) - Module Experts](https://moduleexperts.com/5-common-symptoms-failing-body-control-module-bcm/)** > > If your BCM malfunctions, you will notice a negative effect on the operation of your vehicle.

That’s not blinker fluid! This is the original blinker fluid. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/9/f93507685a3180dde61e2dc7846881611d6d6908.jpeg) Tester ---

[quote="Tester, post 7 This is the original blinker fluid. I think oldbutnotdeadyet is using aftermarket fluid not OEM fluid. ---

Is Volvo trolling again? I suppose I could have given a nasty, unhelpful response or one about “blinker fluid” but I didn’t. A visit to a Hyundai forum indicated that the hazard flashers were controlled by a relay and I had no reason to doubt the information. What constructive advice do you have? Oh, that’s right, none as usual. ---

Hey, guys. It is time to remember that this forum is for fun and education and help. Lighten up! I have learned so much here. ---

I thought the Blinker Fluid was amusing but apparently but I guess some did not . ---

Is it just me? I do not think turn signals should be called Blinkers. Hazard lights are blinkers. 😁 Turn signals are winkers. 😉 ---

Unfortunately using the “ignore” function is equivalent to putting tape over your check engine light. 😉 ---
