How does one open the connections box near the battery?

Basic but it has been puzzling me. How does one open the little black rectangular electrical connections box near to the battery please? I want to tidy up a little by moving a connection that has previously been made direct to the battery cable connector.

There's a protrusion on top of the connections box. I can't be sure if that is a hinge or a latch? I've tried modest force in various directions and I am cautious of using real force so as not to break the thing by getting it wrong.

Thanks - Stephen

Think it's a pull out at the bottom to release a clip and slide up.

Push the centre of the lid of the box horizontally towards the drivers side of the car, then it will clear the clip in the centre and allow the lid to slide vertically upwards.

Cheers,

S.

Thank you both.

Flat bladed screwdriver to ease the connections box cover out from under the clip at the top, slide the cover upwards, box is open, kushtie.
