Fuse box location

I am trying to find the fuse box on my brothers 98 Freightliner FLD. Does anyone know where it is in the truck?

I'm not sure, check in front of the shifter where the dash meets the floor. I think there's a plastic panel you take off with a couple of screws. Like I said, I not sure. I've never had one.

On a 98 model...behind the kickpanel in front of the shifter...comes off with a couple of twist-lock fasteners. A quarter will work if no screwdriver is available.

I drive a 98 Frieghtliner and there is NO common buss fuse box in other trucks/cars. I searched everywhere and even turned to the owners guide. I finally learned from a Freightliner mechanic that the 98 Frieghtliner is one of few models with a buss bar circuit panel. I was looking for a fuse box to troubleshoot my non-working cruis control. Now I get to dismantle the dash and pull my cruise switches and replace them instead of replacing a small fuse.
