I pulled the bulbs out, disconnected the wire harness from the the tail lights & license lights. fuses still pop. ordered a short finder from advance auto, and the mean time, stuck led flash lights in the bulb holes, they worked great! LOL

If I am reading the short finder right, the short is right at the fuse panel.

How do I remove the fuse panel? can i remove it?

 

any help would be great on removing the fuse box

 

I'm going to assume you haven't gotten on your back to actually see how the fusebox is removed? Because if you did it would become obvious.

But in case it isn't.

First, as always, disconnect the negative battery cable under the hood.

Remove the lower dash cover from under the steering column to reveal the fuse box. Remove the two 10mm bolts on either side.



Disconnect the connectors as shown.

 

Thank you so much,
I did look, but could not see the nuts.
why, I am old, fat, & blind. so watch out for me on the roads!
