The flasher unit is about to give out. There are 2 flasher units, one for the turn signals, and one for the hazzards.
The flasher is part of the hazard light switch.

It is underneath the radio in the hazard switch itself. The relay is built into the switch

It shouldn't, if it is installed correctly. If I were you I would consult with a professional.
Try replacing the hazard lights switch. 40 bucks at dealership for the part, require no tools to replace.
it is the relay, change it, it is the hazard button, the one with the red triangle.
The turn signals and hazard lights on this year Beetle are controlled by the hazard switch. Dealers refer to this switch as a hazard/flasher module. When the switch fails, the lights typically flash once or twice then stop due too faulty internal contacts. The switch/module is just like the old style turn signal flasher that older cars used years ago, only the cost is a little bit more expensive. This is a common part that fails on this vehicle.

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.
The turn signal flasher is incorperated with the Hazard lamp switch. The switch must be changed,then the directional lamps will work correctly.
