How Can I Move Electrical Cables Out of Way to Replace Fuses

In the past couple months, both the speedometer light and the cigarette lighter on my 2003 RAV4 have stopped working.  I located the internal fuse box, but am staring at a giant clump of electrical wiring in front of the panel, which makes accessing the fuses very difficult..


Is there a way to get the wiring out of the way in order to see the fuses and replace them? The fuse puller is to short, my hands will not fit, and my little pliers cant go in straight because of the wiring.? I hate idea of paying a ridiculous price to have a couple fuses replaced. The panel is already located in a position which requires a person to sit on the ground outside of the car. But the bundles of wire are the biggest obstacle. The diagram in the manual doesn't show this design flaw. Obviously Toyota technicians  don't go through the same hassle.  Is there a way to loosen or temporarily disconnect this bundle of cables? Any feedback will be appreciated.
