  I am truly not trying to be insulting but did you bump the hazard switch on accident? I know when I am dusting or cleaning around my steering wheel it's pretty easy to activate the switches and buttons.

  Could cleaning spray have got into the hazard switch and shorted it out or temporarily have caused the switch to stay "on".
  Try operating the hazard switch on and of ten or twenty times and try to clean the contacts in the switch.
