Don't know about the fuse issue but the air through defrost sounds like you have a vaccum leak. There are little rubber line going from your hubs to a solenoid on the passenger fender and it goes through a box. You can either trace the leak and rebuild the hubs with new gaskets or replace the hubs with warn hubs and cap the vacuum lines.

No problem, also what year truck etc? And that only applys if it's 4x4 I thin the solenoid I mentioned is the vaccum pump or something close to that looks just like a starter solenoid theres a thread in here from when o had same issues.
