Under Seat Fuze Box

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500 Chassis on my motor home. The electric mirrors do not work. I found the owner's manual on the internet and believe I know where the fuze is.

However, the fuzes are under the driver's seat in a plastic box. The box has a lift up top that stops when it hits the seat so I can't open it.

Does anyone know how I get access to the fuze box under the driver's seat without totally removing the seat itself?
  • I have an 07 express and the cover has 2 tabs but pops off. If it didn't I would make so it did.The top would probably sit back on without a problem but a velcro strap would work to attach.
  • Good to hear,thanks for coming back with the solution and the outcome!
  • Got the seat off and checked the fuses. They seemed OK. Went back to check at the driver's door for the connections. It appears that there was a loose wire somewhere. Electric mirrors are working now. But, I now know how to access the fuses - and also noticed that the fuses are smaller than the standard ones.
  • A friend has the long Chev. van. We got his cover off and were able to check his fuses alright. The express van may be a bit tighter. What works in one may not in another. They sometimes just don't think.

  • The only way that I could find was to take the 4 nuts out and pull the seat out
    Chevy engineer did a lot of nice things as far as getting to the
    headlights and shocks but this is one bonehead move.
