Fuse box? Are you referring to the separate fuse block located on the RH firewall? Unless the ignition is in the "run" position you won't have power to those terminals.

You are not the only one who is "confused." Your writing "style" doesn't help those who might want to help you. Please remember, capitalization and punctuation are our friends.
