Default Passenger compartment fuse box

My manual says to access the fuses in the passenger compartment fuse box "Unclip the access panel on the left side A pillar." Anyone able to point me to the access panel, I can see nothing obvious on the A pillar.

TIA

I thought the passenger side fuse box was under the floor.

EDIT: Never mind! Different side.

There is a fuze box under the passengers feet.

The page/diagram in the Owner Handbook (attached) is a little confusing as it shows a LHD car (and mine is RHD) and two "passenger compartment" fuse boxes, numbers 3 and 4, on opposite sides of the cabin.
From memory they are opposite to what is shown in the diagram on my RHD car, so number 3 is under the floor on the passenger (left) side and number 4 is under the driver's (RHS) A pillar.

Yes, on LHD cars. I suspect the fuse boxes are in the same location on all F-Types and therefore the floor fuse box is under the drivers feet on the RHD cars and the pillar box is on the passenger side.

Interesting, my manual shows only 4 locations, number 3 is missing. The one I'm after is number 4 on your diagram, on the left side A pillar, but I can't see any obvious access panel.

I just had a poke around in mine and it's on the LHS (passenger side) not the RHS.
It's behind a carpet covered panel under the left side of the glovebox (up against the side of the car), I shone a torch up in there and I could see relays and fuses.
I didn't pull the panel off but some gentle wiggling suggests to me it comes off without too much hassle.

OzXFR is correct, its under the kick panel/carpet on the pass side, been under there a few times.

Thanks for this info - I'll have a poke around when (if!) it stops raining.

For clarity on this forum, it’s necessary to specify left vs right side of car (or are the fuse boxes flipped side to side based on lhd v rhd?).

At first I thought they were flipped RHD vs LHD, but on my RHD the #4 fuse box is on the LHS which is the same side as shown in the Owner Handbook for a LHD car.
So put simply that fuse box is always on the LHS of the car no matter where the steering wheel is.

Thanks...that’s what I thought.
