Cold electrical problems?

This morning has been the coldest we've had in TX so far (45 degrees?) and when I went out to start the FD, blipped the throttle, waited about 15 seconds and my hazard flashers flashed once, waited about 3 seconds, flashed again twice in succession, then stopped. I hit the hazard button to make sure they weren't on. They weren't. Turned them back on and waited for another couple seconds, once, 2 or 3 seconds later once again, 3 seconds later twice.. Made sure the blinkers were actually blinking and it wasn't just the lights on the console. By the time I came back out after the car was warmed up to start driving 5-10 minutes later, it had stopped.

Never had anything like that happen with any car of mine, and this is the first time I've seen this happen.

Any ideas?

It may be a faulty "flasher". You can replace that pretty easily. OR you may want to check the connections of all wiring associated w/ the hazard lights. A wire may have come lose and is shorting itself when you turn on the ignition.

Basically, check your wiring.
