Really dumb Fuse question
OK, do NOT take this the wrong way. I have searched and searched....all over the dang car, the manual cover to cover, etc.
WHERE IS THE DANG FUSE BOX INSIDE THE CAR???? (2012 GT)
I've found the under-hood fuse box immediately. I looked on the passenger side kick plate where there IS a fuse picture and all that is back there are relays. WHERE is the fuse box for inside? Not behind the glove box, or under the dash....I can't find it!!! SOOOOOOO frustrating. (and I know I'll feel like a moron when someone tells me where it is.)

Really dumb fuse answer--I don't know.
On my 2007, you take the access panel off on the passenger side kick panel. Inside is a black metal cover that you pull off to get to the fuses. I couldn't figure out how to get the cover off. I pulled on it, but it didn't seem to want to move. I was concerned about breaking the thing. I went to the dealership, and the service advisor didn't know how to remove the cover! It took a tech to show the advisor, who then showed me. There are two tangs, one on the left, and one on the right. You might not to be able to reach the tang on the right, so concentrate on the left one and hope that nothing breaks.
A strong light, such as an LED flashlight, might be of help in seeing what is there.

Fuse box is under the passenger kick panel. It opens and the box is near the top area, behind a plastic cover. Oddly enough, right where the writer of the owners manual predicted Ford would put it.
From page 225, under the list of fuses...:
"Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located in the lower passenger side area behind the
kick panel. Open the trim panel door and remove the fuse cover to
access the fuses."

Definitely not a dumb question! 
As AzPete said, it's located in the lower passenger side area behind the kick panel. Open the trim panel door and remove the fuse cover to access the fuses. It'll be on page 231 of the Owner's Guide.
Good advice about the flashlight. Sorry you had to go to the technician, but I'm glad they were able to help.

Dang! I scoured the Owners Manual Three different times, and was on my back w/ a flashlight on the floor board looking for the durn fuse box. It must really be up there.
Thanks guys. I'll check to see if I can find it.
