ok so I'm trying to do this for my mom while i'm out of work and have nothing better to do. She's got an 05 civic ex that has been having crazy electrical problems (wipers wont stop till you tunr the car off, window wont go down, headlights intermitently don't work when wipers are on etc.). Anyway, I'm pretty certain from my reading that its an issue with the MCU which is in the fusebox. So I want to just replace the entire fusebox. I was hoping someone could hlep me by providing a diagram and/or instructions on how to get to this and replace it? I think I'm gonna give an ebay fusebox a try at least once and if that doesn't work just buy it through the dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the part I'm looking at (I think its what I need):

I don't have the PDF printer on this computer... For the most part you take the - lead of battery loose then the + & wait 3 minutes, remove the front connectors on the box. Then remove the screw so the fuse box will drop down, then remove the back connectors & remove box.

Install in reverse order and perform idle learn.

As far as the part # I would do some cross reference before purchase to make sure it will be the same part.

great info craig! I've been reading some of your other posts as well. So what will I need to do to actually access the fuse box? Does the whole dash need to come of or is it just a couple of clips under the stearing wheel? I've read both...

There is a panel under the wheel, 2 ***** twist to release.

You will see the under hood fuse box, the bolt at the bottom allows it to drop down lower for access.

Many connectors present.
