2002 st1100 fuse box cover

[wan2cruz]

I have a 2002 ST1100 and trying to remover the rectangular fuse box cover to the right of the battery and can't get it off. I have tried and pried to no avail, any tips before I do any major damage?
Thank you.

Don’t pry it- there’s a little catch at the bottom- squeeze it and it pivots up from below if that makes any sense. Like the hinge is at the top ( at least that’s how I recall when I last checked fuses)

There should be little 'latch' (tab that inserts into the side of the fuse box).
Get a flashlight and look real close and you should see it (the cover swings out on a plastic hinge).

I couldn't remember if the tab was on the top or the side ... memory ain't what it used to be and too lazy to go remove the seat, saddlebag and sidecover to see!
