There is no fuse box in a 59 bird. Some of the electrical components have in line fuses such as the clock and the radio. There are two fuses located on the back of the light switch, one is interior light and the other is for turn signals. Others systems, power windows for example have a circuit breaker in the ground wire from each window motor. You can find/buy shop manuals and wire diagrams on-line that will help locate fuses and breakers. I am currently working on a 59 and finding all the breakers and fuses is a bit of a challange without documentation.
I have the original owners manual for a Ford 1968 Thunderbird. I scanned an image of the diagram and posted it here: http://www.opensourceopportunities.com/Ford-Thunderbird-1968-fuse-diagram.jpg
Have you checked the fuse panel under the dashboard for the instrumentation fuse being good or bad?
The flasher for a 195 Thunderbird is under the drivers side of the dash. It is located at the fuse panel.
there is a fuse dedicated to the running lights on the 96 Thunderbird. Check your fuse panel under the dashboard for the proper fuse and check to see if it is blown.
Fusebox is on the passenger side behind the floor kick panel

Should be in the fuse panel. The large round (usually metallic) one. Look it up on your fuse panel schematic to double check.

The Ford Thunderbird fuse box diagram can be found on the inside cover of the fuse box. The fuse box can be located in the engine compartment.
