Lights flashing usually indicates a flat battery

If they did then the fuel cut of switch most likely got triggered, sometimes happens when under bonnet pump has failed, often causing hazards to flash and interior lights to come on. Went out to a ZT that had this happen a few weeks back.

Where is the fuel cut off switch Thank you for your input

Bottom of the A post passenger side, easiest to remove glove box and lower fuse box cover panel, And quarter plastic trim, you will see with a torch a black switch with a push down rubber on it, just reset it and see if it trips.
