The signal indicator gets 12V from the panel at key-on, and grounds through the signal lamps; so it will light whenever the lights on one or both sides are connected but not powered (power for them comes from the flasher relay). This is why the indicator flashes out of phase with the signals. Note that this means the light will glow even if the turn signal fuse is blown. As Dennis said -- everything goes through the hazard switch. It has to supply power to the flasher relay from unswitched power for four-ways, or from switched power for the turn signals. It also has to connect both sets of lights to the flasher for four-ways, or let the turn signal connect them for turn signals. It's the prime suspect any time anything goes wrong. A few dozen cycles of rapid exercise will often help it.
