The light control module could be the cause of hazard lights coming on after the car is turned off. There could be a problem that has caused this module to become wet and it is now not working correctly.
First thing you want to check is the dimmer switch to see if it is turned all the way down.
What you describe could be caused by the Hazard Light switch being turned on. When you observe this symptom, get out and check to see if the parking lights are flashing. If they are, then find the Hazard Light switch and turn it off.
NOT Electrical Lights lighted candles
I had the same problem. It turned out the ABS relay was shot.
Some cars have a knob for the headlights. If this knob is turned left or right when pulled out, it changes the brightness of the dashboard lights from off to full brightness.
I would replace the headlight switch as Ford has had their share of these problems.
The hazard lights are a seprate circuit even though they share the same bulbs. I would first replace the hazard flasher; it simply plugs in. Usually the hazard flasher is located in the interior fuse panel. I hope this helps you. Mark
first check the flasher under dash to right of steering wheel .next check connection at multifunction switch
if you leave the parking lights switch "ON" the lights will remain on, even if the car has been turned off.
Separate circuits.
the chime would stay on if the keys are in the ignition (but the car turned off) and if the door is ajar to warn that the lights are still on
the button for the hazards has a spring on a plastic piece that holds it on the spring may have fallen or broken that would cause it to stay on
