Stilo How to clean/dry out the fuse box near the battery

Work around the edges of the grey plastic frame, releasing the clips. Work on a table (or a clean surface - today I used the top of a new oil drum - it has a useful rim around the edge to catch any bits that might fall out).

Separate the front and back. Some small electrical terminals might fall out, or might be left in the front plastic. Do not be alarmed - it is easy to work out where they go later.

Most of the terminals will be attached to the 'cards' you find inside. It's now time to pull these terminals off, using an appropriate pair of pliers. There are four types:

• small, for the tiny fuses around the edges
• medium, double-ended spade socket - for some of the relay pins
• medium, one spade and one squared-off socket - for the rest of the relay pins
• large, copper, double-ended spade socket - for the large maxi-fuses

Again it helps to take a photo, to note later which way around the terminals go. I have a photo which I will try and attach (I can only attach one photo at a time - I'm writing this on an iPhone - so I will post photos as comments below).

With all the terminals pulled off, you're now ready to separate the layers. They come apart easily. Each has pins that extend through to the sockets on the back and also to the front where you pulled the terminals off.
