Question How to open the inside Fuse box panel

Can anyone let me know how to open up the fuse box under the driver side. This is for 2010 Lexus RX350. Both of my seat heaters are not lighted up nor working. I would like to check the fuses to see if they have burned out.. I did located the panel but don't know how to open it up to check for burned fuses.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Grab the handle and pull?

The DIY section of the manual says to remove the lid but not how. Chances are it's held on by clips that you pull to release. I assume you're looking at 10A which is also for the power tailgate, display, air conditioning and stereo. Have you checked if they work?

Why not just let the dealer take care of it under warranty? If you have a blown fuse, the root cause is often something other than a blown fuse such as wiring short or a defective device.

It is more likely that the connector to the seat heater module has come loose or off. You can easily check that by popping it out. Make sure it is firmly seated and attached.

Thank you for all your help. I checked and the fuse looked fine to me. I think I'll need to make a trip to the dealer to get it inspect.

Good luck, ntran. I'm sure the dealer will take care of it for you. And welcome to CL.
