Fuse Box, tell me the secret please
I removed the cover for access to the fuse box located on the lower left part of the dash. BUT how do you remove a fuse? The fuse box is about 5 inches from the access door and I cannot figure out how to get my hand in to remove a fuse. On the 7th generation it was right behind the door for easy access but now it is deeply recessed. If someone has found an easy to remove and replace the fuses please share the wealth.
When I first removed the access panel I could not even see the fuse box, I had to get a flashlight to see it.

to drop it into the recess on left of the bottom of the opening. I was able to put some tape on my finger and get it out but learned my lesson. I am going to buy another fuse puller and glue an extension to it so I can use it from outside the opening. It is hard to see the fuses when your hand is in the hole.

I use a pair of medical forceps that are 10 inches long. They are slender, lightweight, and have locking handles. I coated the tips with a liquid rubber insulator and the tool works great for fuses, and it stores away in the glove box. They also work great for getting things out of tight places like between the front seat and console.
