Default Alhambra (Galaxy) problem - Electrical...

So, tonight I went out to the car, and have found I have no indicators, hazard lights, interior lights, front and rear heated screen and central locking. They were all working fine earlier, but a few hours later with the car just sitting there, nothing.
Has anyone come across this problem in the past? Any clues to what it could be? I was hoping a fuse or relay, but which one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Could be GEM failure, as all these items that have failed run off timers etc, which is controlled by the GEM.

Fuse box by battery is a common fail. lift the lid and you might find melted wires or fuse blown. the whole box is about Ł30 from ford
Mine melted good luck

My brother in law had a 2001 galaxy, and it had a fire that started in that fuse box by the battery, completely destroyed everything under the bonnet. car was total loss.
might be worth a check!
