Default Does you GS have these fuses??

something fishy happening on my "yet to be driven" GS..The problem is in the fusebox under the hood which houses ABS Fuses(#45,#46,#47), those fuses were missing and when I tried to install them I realized the terminals to which the fuse connect weren't in their proper place.

What a random problem... so many questions.. did someone break it on purpose to hide ABS not working?(i don't know whether it works or not. I guess not without those fuses anyway)

Now I'm trying to return the terminals to their proper position and install ABS fuses so I need to disassemble this fusebox but I don't know what I'm doing.. I'm just pulling tabs inside the fusebox trying to get stuff to come out but it's not working.. I don't wanna break it..it won't come out of the car

Help appreciated.

I looked up this engine compartment fusebox on ebay and it is too missing the fuses and terminals.


I got the fusebox disassembled and was able to confirm there are no wires going to either fuse slots #37,#45,46,and 47.(all abs fuses) but the manual says there should be fuses, and im pretty sure that someone removed those wires to disable the abs circuit and make the abs light go away.

Also watched this educational video with a GS and they didnt have the fuses either

I need someone with working ABS preferrably with a GS300 AWD model to take a look in this fuse box and let me know if you see the fuses.

I'm just trying to make sure the wiring hasn't been altered.

this car has to pass safety and it doesn't run right now so I can't check ABS and since it was so cheap and the abs fuses were apparently missing I figured they did something to hide abs not working cuz I had no ABS light and yet here we have 4 ABS fuses just missing, so I figured, surely they did something to hide the problem, but now I am 90% sure only the 430 has those fuses.

thanks a lot for helping out.

I don't mean to be a burden, but when you go to look, can you pull fuse #37 and see if the fuse slot has contacts on both sides or just one. I only got contact on one side and no wire going to that fuse, so I think that one is a spare too.

Honestly i'm kinda bothered they're all upside down... I know it makes zero difference but I still don't like it. I might have to flip them... because i'm a freak

so I just bought a 2007 GS350, i was going through my fuse box. Trying to figure out, how to open the trunk. As i can oly open it with the help of the key. While i went through the fuse box, I found those fuse for ABS was missing. I freaked out because, I felt my breaks weren't functioning well. So my question is, is there fuse. And under the driver side fuse box too. Please 🙏 provide me with some info thanks.
