I need to replace the fuse for the heater fan and I cannot get into the fuse box on the passenger's side. Can someone please tell me how to remove the access cover before I break it?

you just have to pull on it using the finger tab in the fuse panel door, sometimes they are tight and won't come out easy, you could always use a screw driver along the edge on the side that would be closest to the seat and try to pry it up enough to pop it off.

Yeah, they are usually in there real good because they rarely ever get opened on the right side, most people don't even know that there is a fuse panel there. You have to pull pretty hard, it will feel like it's going to break but it shouldn't.

Thanks for the help, gentle use of the screw driver worked just fine! Was able to put in the new fuse and everything works great. I really appreciate the help.
