I'm mainly having issues getting behind that metal bracket and didnt know if anyone knew how to get that off without braking it, I called 6 dealerships and they didn't know what I was talking about and wanted me to bring it in

Ouch, that sucks. Personally I'm not sure how you will manage getting that back out, but I would imagine the fuse block splits apart somewhere for you to get access. It had to go together, right? :P Good luck!

Look closely at the fuse box. It does split into pieces or modules. Other than that, not sure. It has been a bit since I did fans and fogs and was in that part of the car.

This is for series 2 but maybe they are similar?

back it out with bits

it can't be any worst than a broken box, right ?

That is true, if I can't do what the guys said I will pull my dremal out today and see what I can do

Sorry to bump an old thread but was there a solution to this problem?

I'm having the same problem, the bolt fell and is stuck behind the metal plate.

Yea i had to take a dremel tool and hollow out the back to get to it, worked perfect afterwards

I don't have a dremal, could I use a regular drill and a bit to make a hole in the back?
Would it damage the fuse box in any way?

Its going to damage it a little but it will still work, you should be able to use a drill if you have like a sander bit, it will melt the plastic in the back so you can get to it, there isn't nothing behind there but plastic and the metal bracket thats behind there that you will have to bend, to get to it, you can bend it back in place afterwards
