Default 883 fuse box removal

Don't have a manual, trying to sell the bike. Keep blowing the left middle fuse on an 883. It's a live fuse, doesn't need the ignition on, at least in this case.

There was corrosion on all the fuses. Cleaned the fuse box up and replaced the six fuses. My guess is the corrosion is also in the back and is shorting out.

Anybody know how to remove the fuse box? It appears to be snuggled in between the frame and oil bag. Any thoughts? TIA, Dennis

It slides in from the back. You'll have to loosen the oil bag enough to wiggle it out. I rewired my bike last year. Got rid of the fuse box and am running re-settable breakers. 2 (30amp) and 1 (15amp)

Heres a pic of it removed..
