Most likely, If you can still remove it as if it was a fuse, and it has the normal spade connectors on the back of it.

Any possible problems with killing your battery in the long run? Say if your trucks sitting for a week and electricity is constantly flowing.. any problems with starting it up later?

I haven't left my truck sitting for a week, but We have with our other cars, and they start just fine. I see it the same as how headlights are always active, but they dont draw anything when they arent turned on, ya know?

Gotcha. Yea i havent really had the truck sitting without moving for more than a day. i was just worried because if i go snowmobiling or on vacation (ever :/) the truck would probably be sitting for at least that long (only if i go snowmobiling itll be sitting in front of the hotel/motel)

Where is the that red wire out of the original spot running to? The yellow one out of the original does that just have a spade connector on it to run it to the constant? Then from the constant you wired the yellow to the fuse. Then from the fuse you have a black (ground?) running to the original fuse spot.

So from the fuse you have a ground to one side of the original. Also from the fuse there is a positive going to one side of the constant. From the original you have a yellow going into the other side of the constant. Where's that red one?

The other wires in that picture go to other things, where I needed ignition powered devices and constant power. I've since cleaned it all up though.

You should only have two wires. Each with a male spade end, and a female spade end. That's all.

Oh, so you only have one spade on each end? So there's one side of a fuse slot open? Did you match the rating to the one of the power window?

Its the original fuse for that slot, haha dont over complicate it. Yeah, the slot that would normally deliver ignition controlled power is now blank.
