I can't believe that neither printed user manual I got with the scoot, nor online service manual show location of the fuse box.

As years go by, Kymco gets worse with their manuals.

Where is the fuse box located?

I want to install a delayer relay as I am more than just annoyed with "always on" lights during scooter cranking.
Might the fuses be next to the battery?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Little tough to say from the parts diagram but appears to be in the rear section

Well, they should be, but they decided to put them somewhere where they cannot be accessed when you need to check them.
Kymco scooters seem to be made in a way that owner cannot do anything by himself. And new ones increasingly so.

Tromper - you are right, they seem to be in the rear section.
Fuel tank is also in the rear. I went outside just now to check, everything is enclosed within plastic panels.
It seems that in order to access fuse box, you need to tear apart... everything. Very useful when you are on the road travelling somewhere.

30 years ago whoever engineered this would have been fired.

Ran into that very issue on my old S when trying to do a simple plug swap.  It wasn't as bad as it looked to be honest. I suspect yours is setup about the same.

That said,  I can access the fuse box, valves & plug on my SYM without pulling the main body plastic.  I can access the fuse box on my 650 in about 2 minutes with a screwdriver.  I could not say the same for my S which had the fuses scattered, & some not accessible without pulling the main body.

I suspect this has more to do with ease of manufacture than with making it tough to service. Same with the under seat fuel fillers vs. the external like on my SYM & burger.  In the later case convenience has it's price.  Both models have been noted as having issues with their necks on a few occasions; although I haven't had any issues with either.
