Yeah thats the one I knew about (cooling fan) and I figured the cruise control was in the main fuse box.

So what's the other slot for? Is it supposed to be empty on purpose?

Thanks.

alot of times thay use the same fuse box on different cars to save money. it may be for some acsesery on some other car. but idono.
if its empty and everything works i say dont worry bout it.
but i know if u r anything like me u will ;)

Its not in the main fuse box.

It's near the coolant and the battery underneath the hood.

Completely seperate from the main fuse box located under the steering wheel.


Thanks anyways.
