random hazard light flashing

[Darth Vader]

Seemingly out of nowhere and in response to no inputs, 3 times today my hazard lights have started flashing, the high beam indicator lights without high beams on and I can't turn the hazards off manually, they just stop by themselves after a while. Anybody else seen this? I am not prepared to stock out to dealer this car for something stupid, if it's in anyway fixable by me.

I doubt it will work, but I would pull the bat ground off for 5 min or so and let all the gremlins exit the building in an orderly manner

Did that this time and it started up again as soon as I reconnected it. Then just got bored and stopped itself a few minutes later. This stuff is ultra aggravating because it can't be easily provoked repeatedly.

I theorise it may have something to do with the anti-theft system as the car will also fairly often ignore the remote lock and unlock commands, even with a new battery in the key fob.

Yep, especially since I'm near full bolt. I don't want to have to find the time for that with winter comin' on. I just reflashed the comp back to the right MAF cal for my intake so, that's taken care of.

further, might it live on the pcb instead of ecu??

flasher relay is embedded there

what does lkq want for a pcb board, i wonder, it would be gt specific, but speed specific??

negative, I meant the bewildering array of wire above the passengers toes

By the sails of the Beagle, that's a pack of snakes for sure. Cars today are insanely electrically complicated. I'm thinking of starting to look for common grounds in the systems affected, as a ground fault could lead to bizarre outcomes like this, I think.
