Disconnect the battery and the AC supply, and remove the inner front cover on the distribution panel, and it should be pretty straightforward to remove the DC fuse panel to check things out. It would be an excellent idea to label the wires going to the DC fuses with their slot numbers if they are not already so identified so you can get them back to the right positions.
