Missing fuse clip

Can somebody tell me how to replace this clip for the heater fuse? It's always been missing. Also, does anything besides heater run off it?

I don't know, it's been like this since I've had the truck.

Well if the heater works then it was never used in this application. Not uncommon to have to blank spots in the fuse block.

Well it's not really a blank spot, it's half there. I really just want to know if there's a fairly easy way to put a prong in it so I could throw a fuse in and see what happens. Thanks.

Just putting a fuse prong in there won't work, as where is the wire that the fuse prong was attached to? Has it been farmerized and rewired?

Not sure, I just took pics of what I saw. Any pointers on what I could do based on the 2 pics I posted would be appreciated.

That fuse must not be powering anything else. Note it just says "HEATER" and the fuse below that spot lists multiple circuits. Looks like there was never a clip and fuse there. Like the truck didn't come with a heater. Why do you want one there? What isn't working? Aftermarket add on heater or A/C?

I'll look into it more when I get back into town.
