Which one is the fuse for hazards lights

Thanks

John

Relay position 4 and 5 for the two 404 relays. What to they control? I'm not getting power to the first 404 relay (position 4). I'm trying to solve an electrical issue as I'm not getting power to the coolant reservoir connector and numerous other connectors.

Thanks in advance.
