Help needed, please, fusebox issue, ML320

RE: 98 ML320

I am fairly certain I have a fusebox issue.

Has anyone ever taken the fuse box apart? I ran a jumper once, did a mod where the front aux lights would go on with the rear fog... I finally had them programmed at MB and when I pulled the jumper, some of the strands remained in the slot of one of the relays. I pulled the box out only to see that it's actually 2 sections, top and bottom.. has anyone ever split these??? I want to get to the inside or bottom area of where the aux light relay is.

I really have to get in there.. there has to be a stray strand of wire - it's causing havoc... help???

What I fear is that if I take the 2 sections apart, I don't know if all of the wires and sockets will remain in place.. thank you...

BTW, I want to thank you for your help.. I am afraid that if I tkae out the fusebox and open it, the connectors will all fall out.. I just want to get in there, carefully, and look for a few loose strands... Again, thank you - I really appreciate it...

Rob, maybe I'm misunderstanding you...I'm sorry...

This is what I see...

-remove screws all around and lift out the entire fusebox.

-fuses are all on top, alot of plug in-connectors on the bottom

-there is a 'seam' all around with plastic 'snaps' that suggest the box can be split apart to get to the inside of it...

That is what I need to get to - and I am afraid if I unsnap all around, I'll make things worse...

Can it be accomplished, unsnap top and bottom, to get to the inside and remove a stray stand of wire without removing the fuses on top, the connectors on the bottom, without the whole thing falling apart????????

Uncle V> Thanks Rob, but that's the problem.. I need to open that assembly..
