Front fuse box under the hood passenger side

Can anyone take a complete picture or pictures of the fuse/relay paper that sits in the spare tire area? I am about to do a little fuse box replacement and would really like to have a copy of the sheet. Thanks

Replacing fuse/relay box under hood

So after a mishap with relays from RockAuto I burnt a ground foil( another thread already) . I have been trying to find a new or used board for weeks . My foil repair works well but I travel thousands of miles in search of upland bird hunting so I wanted a good board. Try ordering one no luck so I bought a used one from an auto yard in Minnesota that came from the same model and year 2011 GL550. The board was not the exact part number match and the only relay missing is the wiper delay . After swapping out the board NO WIPERS?? Put the old board back in NO WIPERS??? Scratching my head I figured the only difference from yesterday was the engine hood was up… Yep WIPERS DONT WORK WITH THE HOOD UP!!!! 3rd try was a charm put the auto yard board back in with all new relays and everything is good!!! lol
end of story … Wipers don’t work with the hood up!!!

Sounds like a safety feature, so you don't damage the wipers with the hood up?
