How do I remove the internal fuse cover to enable me to connect a scan tool while driving?

Thanks

[annihilator]

Should just pull forward off it's hinges.

[Andy A]

Thanks annihilator I'll give it ago.

Easier to get a mini Blue Tooth Dongle for a few quid that will fit with the cover shut, otherwise if your using a n other dongle or connector just cable tie the cover so its slightly slight and not dangling on your legs.

It's a cable connection. I will do the zip tie at a last result but really need to remove the hinged cover for a while if its easy enough. I just can't figure out how it pulls straight off. Do I need to remove the pins some how?

Thanks

Can't seem to pull mine off.

I thought that it was a case of pushing the plastic hinge pins out

Just plug it in then hold the cover up till you get in the seat then let the cover rest on your leg.

No wonder you crash...

Open the cover and allow to drop down. Then grab the sides next to the hinges and tug firmly towards the steering wheel. Should simply pop off. If it still has the strap attached, this can easily be removed with the cover detached

What difference does it make if its resting, the clutch can still be pressed

and what does something that happened 10years ago have to do with a fusebox

bluetooth works well, but alternatively just get an extension cable for £1.83

you can then close the cover, the cable itself is "thin as noodle", apparently

It's stupid advice when it can readily be removed.

hmm, i'm sure i had to push the pins out first as well. still if you follows dg's recommendation you won't have to worry about pushing them out.  ever again.

What about holding the cover closed with black nasty?
