I would bet that the 30 amp fuse feeds the motor and the 10 amp fuse feeds both of the switches. Can you remove the rear trim to gain access to the rear motor and unplug it?

Kathryn, Not familiar with Honda hrv, did you mean CRV. There will be a small trim door to remove, lower dash by drivers left knee to access interior fuse panel.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

if you don't find any screws then it is held in place by push pins. Make sure you check for cover caps near any interior release handles. These push pins are plastic and typically are spaced 8 to 10 inches apart all the way around the outer edge. You have to pry these up carefully and make sure they come our of the metal and not out of the panel itself. They are replaceable and available at Auto Zone and Advance Auto in the generic section.
