Hi Jon316G

I loosened the fuse box to get a better reach of the 120a main fuse but still having trouble getting it out, what do you use to take that fuse out?

I'm having exactly the same problem, it wont even click with the security indicator flashing. Could this be more than just a blown 120a main fuse?

much appreciated for all your informative posts
the fuse box is two parts. The inner (maybe brown) part has 4 clips on the outside edges. Unlock them and the inner part of the box will pick up allowing access to the 120 amp fuse. Need 8mm socket.

Red face Im having a similar issue

I have an 05 Rx-8 manual. I parked the car about 6 months ago due to life getting in the way I was unable to use the car. The car battery obviously died so I tried to replace it, however, as soon as I connected the new battery the horn went off and the lights turned on... I removed the horn fuse to try and see what the issue was but lights in the dash or radio will not turn on when the battery is connected. I checked the 120v fuse and its fine. I tried to unlock the trunk as some people have recommended but no luck. Any help would be appreciated the car was sitting outside uncovered during its hibernation.
