XC-70 fuse box under steering wheel?

[Greg]

I need to replace the fuse for the cigarette lighter in my 2005 XC-70. The fuse box for that circuit is behind a large plastic panel under the steering wheel. The panel is secured by two torx screws and perhaps something else as well, since it does not remove easily upon removal of the screws.

any tricks to getting at this fuse box? I don't want to break the plastic panel. Thanks. Greg

I´ts not hard att all.
the plastic is only in two torx screws size 25
and i´ts a steering by the diagnos. take grip on the left side of the panel and pull right down, on the right side i´ts connected to the panel, down by your feets. there you take it only forward. i have taken away at least some hundred of them and newer broken any .
