x100 fuse box location + IDS
From an old thread:
The vehicle is a 2000 NA model year.
Not mine, which is why I have to ask such silly questions.
Where are the fuseboxes, and which fuse box contains the above fuses?
IDS "sees" the vehicle as a 2000 but model year 2003 once the VIN is
input.
The protocol manager barfs once IDS is commanded to diagnotic codes.
A generic OBD scanner, the obdlink from scantool.net cannot connect at
all.
Both of the above units work just fine on my own vehicle.
Just trying to do the right thing for a family member. One who I have told
many times she cannot afford to own the thing.
4. Replaced Fuse No 10 5amp Diagnostic connector (ignition) and Fuse No 13 5amp Diagnostic connector (battery) although they did not appear to be blown.
5. Checked every fuse in all 5 fuse boxes

Yes it does 
It shouldn't take two hours to hook up a scanner and still
ultimately fail. I thought I was going to drop in, have an
iced tea, get the readings and go. I even had her transcribe
the VIN in nice big letters before I arrived.

You're in luck - it's one on the end of the dash under a clip-on cover (can't see it with the door closed).
Mmmm. 5 minute job for a friend. Now where did I hear that before

Nope, you're fine.
There was something about a glovebox ... before I looked at the
images a second time.
Worse ... female family member who really should be driving a fwd five door hatch.
