help there is a fast ticking noise coming from the fusebox area inside the car it is intermediate but really annoying sounds the same noise as the indicators have checked outside to see if the indicators are flashing as this happens but no signs indicators work ok otherwise

Sticking (or possibly just normally operating) relay i'd say.
Take top off fuse box and feel with a fingertip each relay whilst the noise is happening. You should find it. Then check your handbook and see what this relay does

Does the noise stop at all when you fiddle with the indicator stalk?
I had this problem of ticking noise sounding like indicators and it was the stalk.
Got a new one and it has been fine for the past three years now.

A relay will "tick" when the in insufficiant voltage or if there is a problem with the windings, just run a volt meter over the back on them to find out which on it is and buy a new one
