how to open fuse box?

yes as stupid as it sounds im having difficulty opening the fuse box....are there any taps im suppose to pull or turn before i pull the cover off? the owner's manual just says "pull towards you when removing the fuse box cover". When i pull on it, it seems like its being at the top held by 3 tabs. Left/Centre/Right. The L/C came out fine but the right is fairly tight. I didn't want to pull any harder and break something.

i'm assuming the fuse box under the hood.... yes it has 3 tabs. They all come off the same way, u have to pull the tab opposite from the lid and lift up the cover. It's easy.

Just pull the handle (just under 3 switch covers) and the panel swings downward. It's held in place by a few clips.

Yeah I remember not wanting to pull that hard at first either...but the clips are designed to be removed like that so no worries...good luck!

both really, the top of it opens and pivots down. Crouch down just outside the drivers door and give it a tug.
