okay guyssss... my hazard lights wont work.. my indicators still work. there is no fuse broken for the hazard lights.
and i cant use the button on my keys or the button in the glove box to open the boot, it just makes a clicking noise at the fuse box.
as well as when i use my remote locking the lock/unlock works.. but usually the indicators flash, and now they arent flashing.

Have a look again, it'll be your Hazard relay that's playing up. There is one for the blinkers and one for the hazards.

Try putting the blinker relay in the hazards and see how you go and if it works

My first suggestion would be to check ALL of the fuses in the engine bay.

No there's not.
There is only one flasher unit and that operates both indicators and hazards.

Flasher can causes CDL to stop? I think not.

That clicking sound you can hear near the fuse box when you press the boot release, would be the relay trying to work inside the BCM.
The boot release in the glove box goes to the BCM and then back out to the boot solenoid.
The same would apply to the remote.

Can you hear the boot solenoid releasing the boot?
If so, the boot may need adjusting to be able to release it from the catch.

Conclusion - The boot release relay inside the BCM may be faulty.
- The boot its self may not be releasing from the catch.

For the hazards, I would suggest that you thoroughly check number 7 fuse and the hazard switch.

When the hazard switch is depressed, it switches contacts from the number 12 fuse circuit (indicators) to the number 7 fuse circuit (hazards)
It also switches contacts directly to all of the indicators (globes).
When the hazards are turned off, the switch goes back to the indicator power feed and the indicator contacts are relaxed.

I doubt very much if your two problems are related.

For anyone else interested, I had the same problem with my sons VT, changed the horn fuse for the hazard fuse and all fixed :)
