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.

If this car has been in storage, try adding a tablespoon of DOT3 brake fluid to the engine oil to condition the seal. The engine has to come out to replace that seal. At least 8 hours labor.$$$$$$$$.

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. I strongly suggest you have a chat with your local dealer or auto locksmith and gather some basic information before you spend any money.

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.

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

should be in the fuse box under the hood

You could have a bad (broken) vacuum line going to the dashboard area from the engine compartment. These cars use vacuum to open and close the flappers under the instrument panel that control the heat and cooling air routing. The heater controls on the dash usually just open and close valves that route vacuum to the vacuum motors that move the flappers. I had a bad vacuum line under the hood on my '95 mustang last summer. The A/C wouldn't cool the passenger compartment even though the compressor was doing fine and the fluid lines from it were cold. The vacuum line break was on the firewall in the engine compartment. It was real obvious once I figured out what to look for. That could also explain the loss of power. If there is a vacuum leak anywhere in the car, lots of other things that use vacuum don't work right either, including the engine computer etc. Also, the engine could be running lean if a vacuum line is broken, The engine is sucking extra air in through the broken vacuum connection and reduces fuel/air mix robbing you of power. The faster you run the engine, the worse it will be.

What you are saying makes no sense..If it is blinking then it is working. Well anyway the flasher should be located high up in the dash either to the left or right of the steering column. It probably has two flashers. One is for the emergency flashers and the other is for the directional signals. I think the one you are talking about is located on the left side. You have to explain in more detail and clarity as to what you are referring to.

most likely heater hoses and or heater core
