What Are the Reasons for the Vehicle's Hazard Lights Staying On?

Car hazard lights, commonly known as car double flashing lights, refer to both turn signals flashing together. There is a red triangular button on the vehicle's dashboard; pressing it turns on the hazard lights. For some microcars, the hazard light switch is located near the steering column, featuring a small red lever. Lifting this lever activates the hazard lights. If the car's hazard lights keep flashing, it could be due to the following issues: 1. The anti-theft chip on the car key. 2. The vehicle's computer system for recognizing the anti-theft chip. 3. Problems with some circuits connected to the vehicle's computer; it is recommended to have it checked at a 4S shop. 4. Electronic faults: Try using a spare key to see if the issue persists.
Last time my car's hazard lights wouldn't turn off, and after struggling for a while, I realized I had accidentally pressed the red triangle button on the center console. Hazard light switches getting stuck or buttons malfunctioning are particularly common, especially in older cars with aging plastic parts. Additionally, doors not being fully closed or the trunk being slightly ajar can trigger the anti-theft system to automatically flash the lights. If you encounter this situation, don't panic. First, check all the car's doors, windows, and the hood to ensure they are properly closed. Then, use the key to repeatedly lock and unlock the car a few times to reset the system. Once, a friend's car had its wiring chewed through by mice, causing the hazard lights to flash erratically all night. Now, I always keep a 10A spare fuse in the car. You can open the fuse box on the left side of the driver's seat and refer to the manual to replace it.
