Default How to open front fuse box?!?

Derp question here. Sorry, but it's not perfectly obvious to me how to open the front fuse box. I checked the manual and did a quick search here but I didn't find anything obvious.

I see the 2 locking mechanisms near the front, and I released those, but it still seems like maybe the 2 big arms are holding the top on, and I can't figure out the articulation for those.

Anxious to try the NPP fuse 41 trick....

There are arrows and small pictographs molded into the plastic that tell you to unlock the lid with the two small latches at the front of the fuse box. The lid did lift off for me, can’t diagnose anything else.

The handles are another thing, it would seem that you can lift the fuse box out but I’m not willing to try when I don’t really know if that is correct and in any event, I have no need to dink with the fuse box. Good luck. Don

Thanks. Yeah I did release those locks but it's not lifting easily. Time to put some stank on it, I guess.

Just wanted to confirm that's the only thing holding it so I don't break anything
