can somebody pleeeease tell me how to completely remove the friggin fuse box? im trying to get to the icu so i can take a look at it and possibly fix it. ive managed to get the whole thing loose but my question is, do i have to unclip all those wires? ive already managed to get a few undone and the rest seem impossible to remove. i just want to make sure im not doing more work than i need to

I just did a little searching since i don't have a 2nd gen, but it does sound like you need to disconnect all the wires. I was hoping to find a writeup, but i failed, lol...

yeah i can't seem to find a write up either. all i can find is "disconnect the fuse box" lol
although i did find that some guy managed to squeeze his hand under it near the bottom and got the icu unhooked without undoing all the wires...i may try this tomorrow. ive given up for now

Some of the writeups made it sound like you would visibly see an issue. Otherwise, do you have an ohm meter? If not, and you don't see an obvious issue, there's probably not much more you can do. You would also need a soldering gun.

I have no idea if you can drive without it. Only one way to find out, lol...

That sucks :( I hate doing a job that's a pain and having it not change anything. I hope they get it squared away for you! Sorry I don't have any more advice...
