The hazard lights work the direction indicator bulbs, not the brake lights.

It could be related to your problem above. Do both front and rear flashers
come on?

My XJ-S had similar symptoms (flasher warning light falshing once) when the
A/C was on high.  It could have been a voltage drop somewhere, but I gave
up looking for it and fixed the symptoms by opening up the flasher unit and
adjusting (bending) the stop so that the warning light part of the relay
would close with slightly less current.  It has worked fine since.

good luck,

Mike
