I replaced the wiper motor that was 'blowing fuses', and there seems to be no juice when I use the steering column lever.

I want to check to see if it is live at the fuse, but can't get the cover off.
Is this standard on 74's?

"Standard" is normally missing.

Should just be able to squeeze the middle and remove.

A "pinch" at the centre of the upper and lower, and a slight rock and wriggle should have off...mine falls off while I'm driving.

The Supple "pinch" has been covered here, so I'll carry on with my comment......
I've never noticed the different graphics for the various fuses....."high beam, low beam, wiper, etc....)... I'll have to check mine and see if it has them!!
