Hi All
I am trying to access the fuse box to the side of the glove compartment in my 2013 C3 Exclusive but I am having difficulty doing what it says in the handbook. ie open glove compartment and pull the side of the fuse box. Which is not budging and appears to be one piece with the glove box. I do notice there are two torx screws at the top of the panel and that these may need removing to help me access the fuse box.
I am trying to fit a dash cam and need to access a spare 'always live' fuse position.
your guidence in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

This is from the manual for 2011
C3 fusebox access
C3 fusebox access

these are from earlier C3 models and the later models are very similar to early models

Always live would drain the battery of the car when the engine is not running.

I use a switched live that powers the cigarette lighter or power socket in the centre console for dash cams and things like that.
