fuse box question

Hello,
So I just a quick question. I ended up having to swap out my fusebox. Water damage of course. I managed to find a used one with the exact same numbers as the original. The only number that was different I would guess would be the production number. Anyways, my question is do I have to get the newer used fusebox programmed to my car even though numbers match? Everything seems to be working an no weird things happening or not working. Just thought I'd ask to make sure.

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the fuse box just a plastic housing FOR fuses and relays to sit OR is there a module built into the box? I'd THINK that you'd not have to get anything coded/activated...

That’s exactly what I thought as well. But doing further research into it, you do have to get them programmed if some the electrical systems go wonky with a used one if the part number doesn’t match or is a brand new unit. At least that’s what I’ve gathered.
