Default 98 Ghia Fuse and panel

Need to know what type of fuses used in the 98 Ghia and where is the fuse panel located.

Reason for the question is a mate is in hospital and while his new mustang is locked away, the old ghia is outside in the rain.
Seems his partner may have left the boot unlocked meaning flat battery.
RACQ jumped it but now no indicators, so I need to first check for water in boot around lights then maybe fit new fuse, but seeing as the car is 20 minutes from me, then auto outlet is another 20 minutes, I would like to take fuses with me, hence the question.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Presumably an EL. THIS thread has the fuse locations. There is one fuse box to the RH side of the steering wheel and one in the engine bay. The fuses are blade style.

Cheers
Russ

I,m back after finally getting to look at the car, and I found when the indicators are activated, the arrow on the dash flashes only once each way, so,
any idea what the problem could be.
I'm thinking flasher can (if they still have them) and if so, where would it be located.

I got one of these for the shed, pretty much every fuse I would ever need. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/A1-FUSE-K...m4IJXk8MRTdK4Q

With your indicators my first thought would be a dodgy flasher relay. Pull it out the fuse box and give it a slap and see if its just sticky. That or just grab one from autobarn or super cheap. About $15 last time I bought one.

Thanks for that, I know which relay it is from Russels diagram, so next time I go up I will have a go at it.
