If you have a FWD light on the top left side of your instrument panel then you are only running in FWD instead of AWD, which you shouldnt do for any longer than necessary.

you just added the fuse in and made it operate in front wheel drive only. Usually used for maintenance and or troubleshooting. You should remove that fuse unless you are having other problems.
