2017 PIU Remove fuse box

[Dennis J.A.A.]

Has ANYONE tried to get to the fuse panel all the way by the firewall and all the way to the top and left of the steering wheel?
I have everything complete but I have to get up in there to get to to 2 wires to complete the fog light setup.
Not sure who designed this but he needs to get fired. What if it was just a fuse that went out for the radio Fuse #33 ? They would have to pay FORD their minimum of $150.00/hour to change that fuse! WTH???
I really need advice before removing the driver's seat. Next step might be C4 !

I plan on removing the fuse box and installing relays and fuses to where I need them whether Ford likes the idea or not!
I have done enough mods on vehicles since I was 17 that I can figure it out without causing a fire.
Has anyone tried this before if so where do you get the connectors for the inside of the box for the relays & fuses?

Start with moving to Gen V PIU forum.

I just came across this older thread that may or may not be of interest before you begin. 2012 XLT Explorer cabin fuse box replacement
