So yeah like the title says, my blinkers work with the ignition completely off and no key. Now I don't know if it's been that way for a long time or if it's a result of something I did during my barely complete T-5 swap, but I happened to hit the blinker when I was putting the steering column back in and it worked with the ignition off. Any ideas anyone?

weird... hazards should work ALL the time.

Fastfox, you are talking about the turn signals though correct? If so it sounds like you may have a wiring issue. Especially since you had you hands all up in there. I would definitely go back and check all the wires, make sure you did not pinch a wiring harness between anything. The harness that goes up the steering column would be a great place to start. There isa constant "hot" wire that is in that harnes as well as a switched "hot". I have accidently pinched then between the steering column and bracket before but I caught it before I tightened it to much. Good luck. I HATE electrical problems!!!!!

Yes, I am talking about the turn signals. I was pretty careful putting all the wiring back right, but I might have got something goofed up in there.
