Why does the hazard lights come on when you use the turn signal?

Hazard lights typically do not come on when using a turn signal; they operate independently. However, in some vehicles, there may be a malfunction or a design feature that causes both to activate simultaneously, which can be confusing. The turn signal is meant to indicate a specific direction, while hazard lights signal a general warning to other drivers. If both activate together, it's advisable to check the vehicle's electrical system or consult the owner's manual.
