As I was driving fuss box sparked up. Dismantled it and found the interior circuit board burned out at one area. I just don't know what any of it is. Can you tell me what happened here and if it's ok to drive?

Ok, no, it is not ok to drive. You need to replace the fuse box now before any other system is damaged from the failure.

The boards do fail, I dont see any recalls for this but you need to get the part from the dealer parts department and install it to your car.
