Your truck has a rather odd safety feature which may be involved which performs like this:
you go over what it feels are an overly large set of bumps, I guess it wants you to warn everyone around you about the bumps, so it turns on the flashers for a certain amount of time.
On my truck, they would remain flashing until I could turn off the truck completely, as in all the way to removing the key from the ignition, and sometimes it would take several tries and some time to get them to shut off. Very annoying.
So up under the passenger footwell kind of behind the glove box there is a green box, about 4" x 2.5" x maybe 1/2" thick. It has a rather large plug that goes into it, if I remember correctly.
Well I was fixing something else under there and had taped this box to the side for surgery. Apparently, that's a bad idea. Whatever this box is it contains what sets off the flashers. A tiny bump, or the wife kicking it by mistake, flasher city.
Maybe yours is on the fritz, or loose if you are lucky. Could be anything, I hate electrical crap, but thought I would share my results.
