That's right - there should be no fuse there.

When a fuse is inserted into the "DIFF LOCK" socket, the centre differential (planetary gearset) is locked by the clutch, to provide a permanent 50/50 front/rear torque split.

One side effect of this is that you will get binding in low speed turns, as the centre differential is now incapable of allowing the front and rear axles to spin at different speeds.

Since you have a "DIFF LOCK" fuse socket, you have the VTD system.

If you have a transfer clutch (not VTD), and you insert the "FWD" fuse, the transfer clutch is switched off, so that no torque is applied to the rear axle. You therefore have a permanent 100/0 front/rear torque split.

.........hope this is of some help!
