Default Fuse box location....WHY?

Must have been some ulterior motive for the placement of that item...



I manage to get in a rather severe yoga like position, half in, half out of the car, only to discover that I now cannot move. No way in the world that I can contort enough to do more than look longingly at the objective....


Some unknown engineer is surely burning in hell....

While under the dash is nothing new as far as fuse box location in older American cars, I peeked up at mine the other day and said out loud: "Christ, I hope I don't blow a fuse."

I'll disconnect the battery to do even the slightest thing in the electrical system as a precaution.

BTW..That yoga position is called "upward facing pretzel".

plus you have to hold a flashlight and try to keep your glassed on you head.
If you jack up the whole side of the car you have a pretty clear shot on you knees outside.

You might try removing the seat. You're correct - not an easy place to work.
