I found it but couldn't figure out how to open it without possibly breaking it.

Gently pry it up with a thin screwdriver. There are some screws around there I believe that need removing first from what I remember. What year is the car?

Put your hand in the console and lever the rear lower edge of the cover UP with a thin flat blade.

The fusebox is known as FUSE 3

I finally figured out that "fuse 2" means fuse BOX 2. It was the fuse for the electric seats that was burned out.
