I believe so. IDo I need to remove the left foot support and or the gas pedal block to remove the carpet to uncover the fuse box?

Passenger side, Just slide up the carpet piece at the end of the floor board, It will lift right out.

Get a pair of needle nose pliers if you don't have a fuse fuller. That will do the work a whole lot more efficiently.

There is a fuse puller in the fuse box inside the engine bay next to the battery. Just unscrew the lid and the fuse puller should be in the middle of the fuse box.
