Cannot figure out HOW to open the power distribution box on my 2000 Ford Windstar LX! There is no obvious latch or release visible. HELP!

Every one that I’ve ever seen has bayonet type tabs that hold the cover on. It’s a “pinch” thing. A screw driver may be used to work them free (hold them so that they’re not catching).
