as far as fixing the box, the normal way is to remove the dash and then unscrew the fusebox from underneath and then, once you'd stripped the entire loom, feed it through the hole int he panel where the box fits
looking at the picture you may be able to access the clips in order to remove the wires from the box itself without all that hassle, but some wires just won't budge
i wish you luck
I'll need it haha
I had more pics but deleted them.
Anyway yes I can pull the fusebox up out of its holder, feed it out under the scuttle panel and rest it on top of the the black panel at the back of the engine (can't remember the name of it) I can also see all the connections underneath so hopefully can just pop out the ones that are at fault and have a look at them. Maybe clean up and refit.
Ideally I wanted to remove the offending fuses and wires and just put a fuse holder in. I've done this for the one above the fogs, it's the interior blower for the heater and it's fine after doing it. The problem started when I went to do the other 2, fogs and rear heated screen I believe and there was only 1 wire going to 1 side of the fuse, in both cases
That's where the confusion arose
Anyway I'll see what I can do.
Thanks Dojj, your help is much appreciated.
