Hello and Good morning, a little insight please!

Over the last couple of weeks, i have shut off the truck and seems my hazard relay seems to be stuck on.
Keep in mind it is not only flashing my lights, but also inside the cab, radio and interior lights flashing dimly, have to turn the key on and off to make it stop!
So this is where you all can tell me what you think is going on!
have fun with it!

Grounding issue is the first thing that comes to my mind. Can be a bugger to find the offender, but that is where I would start.

Usually when lights are dimly doing things they are not supposed to be doing another circuit is finding a ground through them. Any other issues with something not working? Maybe try the ground on the driver side kick panel.
