The emergency light on my 2014 LX 570 is not turning off. I have disconnected the battery and reconnect and it's still flashing. What are some things I can try to troubleshoot this flashing emergency light not turning off?

Do you mean the emergency flashers?

Yes, it's this emergency button here. I couldn't get the flashers to stop flashing.

With 3g going away these no longer work. You could disconnect it.
I want troubleshoot and fix this issue; however, how to do temporary disabled this flashing so it does not drain my battery? Is the fused for this flashing in the engine bay or inside the driver side?
 
In this list of fuses, I see 2 that reference the emergency flashers, but they also feed critical functions so you can’t pull them. There must be a relay for cycling the lights, but I don’t see it listed.

The basic cause is likely water intrusion and corrosion in the electrical connectors in the door sills. Lots of posts about that on here.

 
Here's what I did. I removed the battery terminal, left it over night. All the signs of this issue leads to doors or hood sensor. The next day I reconnect the battery terminal and it still flashing. I shut the hood much harder than normal, got inside press the emergency button and the flashing turned off. I'm not sure exactly what's going on but the emergency button feels different now that it's working. When it was not working, the button doesn't seem like it wants to popup/out. It feels like the button got stuck in.
 
Every used vehicle I've bought has had spilled coffee somewhere in it. Often if it's not visible in the carpet it causes sticky switches and knobs on the console controls. Decent odds that's your issue.
