Nothing on fuse 5 works.

I bought a 2000 f-150 about 3 weeks ago, and I love that rust bucket. However, I need some electrical advice. Nothing on fuse 5 works. I'm lost as to where to begin looking for the fix. The fuse isn't blown. cruise control, reverse lights, climate control, daytime running lights - none of these are operational. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

While the fuse might not be blown, did you actually check for power with a meter or test lamp?

Did you look in the wrong fuse box, perhaps?

Thanks for the advice projectSHO. Sometimes it's the little things that get overlooked. Anyways, I had power at the box. Fuse had resistance. So, I broke apart a cylindrical glass fuse, took the filament out, split it into two, then used those two pieces to give the little fuse a bit of an extension. Everything works wonderfully now.
