The flashers and hazards are run through the same relay. The power supply to the flasher and hazards sytem is run through that relay. This way when engaged, the flasher relay will kick off and then reset like a breaker causing the flash. If that flasher relay has failed to reingage, you won't have either. I would need to know the vehicle to be able to tell you what it looks like and where it is located exactly, but look for a metal cylendar about an inch tall and an inch and a bit in diameter. It will have two prongs set 90 degrees of each other and should be located on the interior fuse panel or near to it. You may also have a larger square relay if it is on a newer vehicle. This type uses a timer circut vs load heat to flash, but should as well have 2 pins set 90 degrees of each other.

might be a heater core leak coming through the vent system.

Might fit but if your car is fitted with a passive immobiliser that uses a transponder embedded in the key don't expect it to start the engine until it has been coded.

Sounds like a vacuum leak or open air filter box. Check all vacuum hoses are in good condition and make sure air cleaner is closed properly.

Hi James,That is a real good question. Have you checked the fuel pressure on the fuel rail to see how much pressure there is when it refuses to start? It sounds like you may be losing your fuel pressure because of the fuel returning to the tank when the engine is hot. This could be due to a faulty fuel pump assembly or a faulty fuel pressure regulator.Try this: When it doesn't start, turn the key OFF and wait about 15 seconds, then turn it back to the ON position (do not try to start yet). Repeat this a second time, only this time turn the switch to the START position. If the engine starts, then it is definitle due to loss of fuel pressure in the fuel rail. You will then need to test your fuel pressure with a gauge and plug off the return line to determine if the problem is being caused by the regulator or the pump.

sometimes if the steering wheel locked with pressure on it ( like being parked on an incline with the wheels turned or with the front tires against a curb the steering wheel locking pin will make it difficult to turn the ignition not saying this is in your case can also try wiggling the keep in and out up and down (gently as to not snap the key off) while try to turn it forward
