Plug wires you could just pull free haven't really been seen since distributor-less ignition became common in the mid-90s.

The average age of vehicles owned by Americans has been going up steadily (about 10 years old is the figure now!) and the comments here seem to reflect that, vastly underestimating how computerized and "black-boxed" cars have become nowadays.

I doubt there would be any easy access to the fuses from inside the cockpit. These are more often placed under the hood, and if you looked under the hood of a brand new vehicle, you see that there is a a solid wall of plastic with almost nothing user accessible. I'm fairly sure a least one recent car model doesn't even have an oil cap visible under the hood.
