Default Whats are the fuses underneath the hood (by the battery) for?

There are two slots and one fuse is in (20 amp...i know what its for now) and one is empty.

Whats the empty slot used for? Cruise control?

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.

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.
