Nothing was hurt, but then my hazard lights turned themselves on! I kept pushing the button, and trying the turn signal lever, but nothing would turn them off. So, I opened the fuse box in the engine, and took out the fuse for the Hazard lights. the lights stopped flashing, but the relay was still getting power. Even when I turned the car off, it still got power! It eventually quit, but I am wondering if I should be worried about something short-circuiting or if there is something I should do. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Just turn the car off then back on and it will go away. I think it is an enertia(sp?) sensor. There was a thread a little while back about it.

Jeff Johnson (who was with us) said it was a sensor of some type, and then he said he just made that up - that it was a joke! Wow! thanks, Alex   Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 395 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2003 - 05:46 pm:    sure, it happens to me every day on the way into school, the speed bumps are too damn big!!!!
