Only 1 spade in empty Fuse Slot???

So, I wanted to add a fuse to one of the empty slots, so I can use the wires that this particular slot feeds, for power to an added switch in the cab.

However, when I look at the corresponding slot in the fuse box under the hood, there's only 1 spade in the empty slot... So adding a fuse doesn't do anything.

I looked at the local AutoZone for spades but, didnt see any.


So what do I do? I need a way to close the loop with a fuse so I can use the plug in the cab.

2013 F150 Screw 4x2. I Want to use the plug that goes to the 4x4 switch in a 4x4 truck, even though its a 2wd truck, the plug is still there where the dial goes. But there's no power to it... since there's no fuse in the corresponding slot under the hood.

You'll need to get power elsewhere and wire it manually unless you can take the fuse box apart, get the right pins and install them and hope everything is connected the way you need it to be.

Yeah I think I'm just going to put in a jumper from the radio.

Whoever told me that that plug was hot, was wrong. Or at some point they quit putting the fuse in there from the factory.
