Re: Exposed Wiring under drivers seat

I'm confused.

That thread talks about the left hand passenger seat. The exposed Harmon Kardon/"Fuse" box is under the drivers seat.

Re: Exposed Wiring under drivers seat

I'd like to know if it is the same on all vehicles. The regular contributors on here haven't chipped in - any pics of your fuse box Boomer/pjm007 (ooer!).

Hosepiping the car with the key in your pocket unlocks the car if you aim at the door handles. Sensit...
