Any codes? Check Engine Light? It's weird that the hazard lights only work on the left side. Could be the hazard relay going.. I don't see how that would effect the car starting though.

Image is kind of small but the pump relay is the right/topmost box.

Check fuse #8, that is for the fuel pump.
Then pull the fuel pump relay.



Jumper pole 30 to 87 in the socket. You should hear your fuel pump running if the circuit is ok from that point to the pump



If the fuel pump doesn't run, pull out your back seat cushion, and remove the cover on the right side under the insulation. Disconnect the plug to the fuel pump. With the fuel pump relay jumpered you shoul get + voltage at the connectors.

If all of that checks out thaen the fuel pump is ok and the problem exists on the other side of the circuit. You can see that the relay gets power from the ECM and Main power relay.



Good luck
