Exclamation hazard lights staying on

I just replaced the wiper switch and the turn signal switch, (the ones inside the steering column) on my 1994 Firebird Formula. When I reconnected the battery the hazard lights were staying on and the hazard switch wasn't engaged. Does anyone hopefully have any ideas of what i did wrong?

This could be a bad turn signal switch assembly, one of the contacts in that turn signal switch could be out of place, or the wires in the connector could be out of place.

Assuming that you had to take the wires out of the connector to snake them down the column, I would check that first and make sure they are all in the right place and that your hazards aren't getting constant current from a mis-configuration at the connector.
