Hazard lights flashing rapidly after vehicle is turned off? (1 Viewer)

On a 2006 Land Cruiser,

Why would the hazard lights begin flashing and the turn signal indicators begin flashing rapidly on the instrument cluster after the vehicle is turned off?

 

[Dirt Ferguson]

do you have an alarm in the vehicle?

 

[studawg]

yes

I would bet dollars to donuts that is your culprit.

You are correct. I was trying to instruct my uncle via FaceTime how to remove the battery cable and while popping the hood, he mentioned that he had trouble with it latching. We determined that the hood wasn't latching and it was causing the alarm to go off kinda half-cocked, if that makes sense.

Case closed! Glad it all worked out. MUD wins again.
