Am I missing Fuses?

Not sure if this is how it is supposed to be. Everything works fine, just wanted to see if other people's 5.5 gens have the same Fuse setting. Wiper Deicer, INJ Drive, RR Fog Lamp. Were these a part of special options available when bought new?
Thank you for your insight, here are the pics.

According to that, you're missing your fog light fuse. You have the SE model, so you have fog lights. Do they work?

Yeah, they work perfectly fine, no re-wire yet either.

I'm pretty sure those would be for rear fog lamps. Volvo's have them. They just make the tail lamps super bright. I don't know if any Max's came with them though????

I was checking out my fuses boxes on friday trying to disable my keyless entry... I am also missing several fuses like you but everything still works fine. Also, where there is supposed to be a fuse for "keyless" it has an empty slot... so I couldnt figure out how to disable it...

^^ I have no idea what these things are, that is why I was asking. Although my curiosity is telling me to put fuses in there to see what happens, but I know it would not turn out well. lol

Oh right... rear fogs. I missed that.

Very likely, our fuse box was pulled from the Nissan parts bin. So there are slots there not supported by the Maxima. That makes sense, I suppose.

Oh, definitely do the rewire! Simple mod, happy result. Ditto on the side-marker rewire.

Afterward, you'll find yourself actually using the fogs. (And buying new lenses, and trying out all kinds of new H3 bulbs... it goes on, but it's all fun.)

If you notice, there is only contacts on one side of the empty fuse slots so they are not needed and where options. pull out a fuse thats already there and you will see it has contacts on both sides where the fuse plugs in.

The missing fuses weren't needed cause you don't have those options
