For your convenience, watch a video about repairing a BMW f10 cigarette lighter by replacing the fuse (vertical video). Here you can clearly see the location of the boxes.
I cannot get to fuse #65 in the glove box because that whole row seems to be covered by the big black square thing shown on the diagrams as a big empty square. How does that thing pull out for me to get access to the row that contains #65. Thanks for any assistance.
