Where in our cars is the unit that controls the flashers? My car is completely dead, and I am trying to find the inline fuses. Some of the regular fuses arent even getting any power.

Are there any fuses under the hood?

Well if the fuses aren't getting power, then changing them won't restore their power. Something else is wrong.

Most likely it's a fusible link... there are 2 of them, basically pieces of wire that act as fuses, to protect the huge wires that carry 12V from the battery into the car to the ignition switch, headlight switch, etc. The fuses are downstream of all those other things; if one of the fusible links blows, about half of the car will have no power.

They are at the starter terminal where the other end of the battery cable hooks to it. There should be another group of smaller wires than the cable itself on that terminal; each of those smaller wires is a fusuble link, that then hooks to one of the big red wires that carries power to the rest of the car from the battery. One of those is burnt in half.
