Where is the fuse box of the Ford Kuga?

Ford Kuga's fuse box is located inside the engine compartment, in the black box next to the battery on the left side of the engine. Here is an introduction to the Ford Kuga: 1. The Ford Kuga is a compact SUV under the Ford brand. 2. The body dimensions of the new Ford Kuga are 4524/1838/1701mm, with a wheelbase of 2690mm, providing relatively ample space. 3. In terms of appearance: The Ford Kuga features rugged lines, giving it a feel similar to an American muscle car, somewhat resembling a scaled-down version of the Edge. 4. The Kuga is equipped with an active grille shutter system across all models, which adjusts the angle of the grille shutter according to the vehicle speed, ensuring the engine maintains an optimal working temperature and achieving excellent fuel economy. 5. The 2.0T version boasts a maximum power of 245 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, delivering impressive performance.
I remember being quite confused the first time I helped a friend locate the Kuga's fuse box. Later, I discovered two key locations: there's a small storage compartment below the steering wheel on the left side—just pry it open to reveal the main fuse box, and look for that black plastic cover against the light. Another one is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which requires completely removing the glove box to see. Once on a rainy day when the wipers suddenly stopped working, I found and replaced the corresponding fuse in the box below the steering wheel. Remember to always use the fuse puller to remove it vertically; pulling at an angle can easily break the clips.
I've worked on quite a few Escapes during repairs, and the design of this vehicle is quite interesting. In older models, the main fuse box was located on the left side of the instrument panel, accessible by removing the cover near the driver's knee position. The newer models have it relocated behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, requiring the removal of three screws to take out the entire storage box. There's also a secondary fuse box in the engine compartment, which is the black square box next to the battery. Once, I encountered an owner who had used up all the spare fuses, but in fact, lifting the trunk mat reveals an emergency kit originally provided by the manufacturer, hidden in the spare tire well.
Just dealt with a 2015 Ford Escape power failure last week. Ford's fuse division into three zones is quite logical: daily-use fuses are located under a black cover at the lower left of the driver's seat, requiring you to crouch and look up; high-power equipment fuses are concentrated in a square box to the right of the battery in the engine compartment; if audio or seat heating stops working, check the hidden box behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key before replacement—last time, an owner short-circuited with a screwdriver without cutting power, frying the ECU.
