I am trying to help (remotely) a friend of mine that has a dead battery and needs to open the hood.

The problem is that the contactor that you pull out of the fuse box to connect the jumping cable is pushed too far into the fuse box, I told him to try to pry it out with a small screw driver, but if this does not work, can you unbolt the fuse holder and push the contactor from behind into it's intended position so you can pull it out by hand?

Your comments will be greatly appreciated!
