Tesla Model S PTC Heater (Part 2)

This video is part two of our adventure with my Model S PTC cabin heater. The PTC heater expired while we were on holiday in Chamonix when it was -8°C. We thought we'd have a crack at fixing / replacing it ourselves when we got home. This weekend we tried to get to the forward junction box to change the blown fuse. How did we get along?
