I'm no electrical engineer, but...

[spindrift]

Last night I wanted to swap the CB from my Burb over to the new truck. Looked in the owner's manual to see what slots were open and available for accessories. Actually, quite a few. Went to slip a fuse in one of the open slots and it kept falling out. Thought I had gone crazy. Come to find out that there is no circuit behind the slot that would accept the fuse! What's up with that? Did Ford chince on the electrical system here, or am I missin' something?

I don't have a schematic for the 2006 but 2005 Yes.

Did you acquire the customer access wire(white with light blue tracer wire) the fuse should be a 10amp on the panel.

I thought the "customer access" slot was for the security system!! If that spot is truely blank, I'll wire to it.

Put a multimeter or circuit tester to that cust access lead to be 100% sure but it should be switched Hot
