Parking brake light was flashing and a malfunction message, found some water around fuse box and EPB module in trunk. Removed the module and replaced it, then did an active test via scanner and I heard the calipers move, then deleted codes and it worked then stopped again, but only code I found was 03200 which is for the switch. Removed it and cleaned it and cleaned the connector worked a few times, then stopped again, ordered another. I want to remove the rear fuse box to clean it from moisture and put a fan to dry the area, any idea how to remove it?

It looks like it just unbolts, I would disconnect the battery first to avoid any short circuiting. Post images if you have any issues. Check out the images (below).
