When you drop a fuse from position 6 or 7 on the RH banks, where does it go and can it be retrieved?

Danny, pick the car up, turn upside down and shake vigorously!
Sadly they can fall anywhere. I use a short, insulated hook to pull a fuse out at one end then it can be pulled out more easily. They are a PITA to pull out.

Check the bottom, or furthest edge, of the hinge instrument panel. Modern glass fuses can be slightly longer so I slide them along slightly, by squeezing with fingers, then lever out at one end before pulling clear. It helps if youve got piano fingers :lol: Good luck.
