You may have a starter or ignition switch issue. I would guess starter with just the information you are giving. Of course with electrical problems proper testing needs to be done to condemn expensive parts such as a starter.

SOURCE: 2000 BMW Z3. When it rains and my car is parked

I had this same problem - 2 things to check:
Most likely it's the 3rd brake light - check the seal on the inside (you need to remove the black plastic cover inside the boot lid to be able to see - this has 4 or 6 little tabs that hold it in place and break very easily, so take care as you remove it. I suggest using a blunt knife or similar to ease it out). I had mine replaced not that long ago and as far as I can recall they're pretty inexpensive.
Also check the rubber seal that goes all the way round the boot opening, make sure it's attached all the way round and has no defects.
Hope that helps!

Hazard lights flashing and alarm sounding. How do I stop these?

Every car brand and model has its procedure to stop the flashing light and alarm sounding.
But still the common procedure is Make sure boot and bonnet are closed properly.

It can also be a switch, but check your alarm by locking yourself inside the car, and then press the close button on the key 2 times repeatedly until the lock control on the door doesn't make anything. Then open the door by pushing the lever or open the hood . If the horn sounds and the lights blink your alarm is ok , if only the lights blink you should take it to dealer. You can stop the hazard lights and horn sound by pressing the unlock button on the key.

Hazard warning lights activate when engine is turned off and car is parked. Any ideas please? Battery went dead due to hazard lights flashing all night

Sounds like a alarm system. I had an old car that did that untill I hit lock or unlock on the RF remote

if not check the Emergency flasher switch or maybe a relay. Of course make sure the button is not on. Try toggling on and off.

No hazard lights and no turn signals but every thing else works, HELP? I had a push button start installed the wire is connected into the blue fuse on the side wall just behind the battery, related?

the signals work off of the hazard flasher. the hazards are wired to constant power.if you run a fused wire from the hazard switch to the battery it all should work.
somehow the hazard power source got lost.check that there is not a blown fuse in the fuse box. a starter solenoid draws a good amount of current.they may have blown a small amp fuse looking for a power source.
patching into a fuse box for power is not high caliber work.

My ford falcon is draining the battery with the hazards staying on

Try checking the voltage of the battery after charging and disconnecting the leads.. Batteries die if being drained too much..

Truck won't start, new battery, lights keep flashing

Sometimes the new battery is not 100% charged. Put it on a charger or jump start the car, the alternator should then charge up the battery.
