69 Roadrunner - hazard lights work only if key is on and turn signal is on

[ArtistStan]

I have noticed that when the car is off, for example, the hazard lights will not work. Both turn signals work and all lights are working. In order to get the hazard lights to work, I push the switch on for hazard lights, and while key is turned I push the turn signal in either direction and wala.. the flashers work. This does not sound normal to me. Any ideas? Stan

you need to change the power source
hazards should have power all the time and the signals only when the key is on

Follow on question, how does one get behind the panel where the lights and flasher swiches are? I took out the 4 screws but could not pull it out? What am I missing? Maybe I have to pull all the plugs out first. A pain in the arse to get to the switchez etc.
