Seems. Umm, wot Welly said. It could also be a dodgy door lock switch.

Also, the hazards are meant to come on if you break really hard.

Hazards come on during heavy braking iirc.

Could be a knackered cable in the door loom. Peel back the rubber tube that goes from the body to the door and inspect the wiring. Don't forget the boot door as well
