Emergency flashers can't be turned off after charging very low battery
I can't turn off the emergency flashers on my 1994 525 after I tried to charge a very low battery. I was being careful not to produce any electrical sparks by unplugging the charger before I disconnected the clamps. But as soon as I uplugged it, I got a couple of flashes. Everything still seemed fine when I tested the charge on the battery by turning on the lights. When I got to the hazard lights, I couldn't turn them off afterwards. The battery voltage was down to about 7 volts and I have since replaced the battery. It started and is running fine, except for the problem with the hazard lights staying on. I pulled the fuse for the emergency lights.
I have looked at the archives and I read about the Crash Control Module. I unplugged it to see if that could be the problem, but the flashers still flashed. Any ideas on what this could be?

Gone but not forgotten
The battery was removed from the car for over a week while trying to get the dealer to order a new one, so everything was reset (like the trip odometer, all the on-board computer data), but this problem still exists.
I pulled the emergency flasher/turn signal relay and think this could be the culprit. Would this be the first component you would replace first?

Is the flashing supposed to stop after I remove the Crash Sensor Module? I pulled it out but my lights are still flashing, so I figured something else is causing the problem.
Problem fixed!!! It was the Emergency Flasher/Turn Signal relay module. I replaced it and all my lights are working properly now.
The only thing is the replacement module is not as heftly (it feels lighter) than the original. I ordered a genuine BMW replacement, but it was made in Austria, where my original was made in W. Germany. There are a couple of other brands out there for this part, that cost less. I wonder if those are well-built.
