Replaced passenger door, now the truck won't start.

So, I laid my truck on its side this weekend and needed a new door. Went to the salvage yard and pulled one that was close in color. Harness wasn't the same, so I pulled the harness out of the old door, wired it up, and now nothing works. No accessory feature work, no window/lock function, and it won't even turn over to start. Acts as if there's no battery. Is this something with the security system?

I don't think the door would have anything to do with that. Check your battery connections, maybe fuses?
 
Well, I just found the issue. The 40amp AM1 fuse is blown. Guess I'll track one down tomorrow. Anyone know how it comes out? Pulling on it didn't seem to work.

I have had to do it this way: Disconnect battery, 5 min wait too drain any residual voltage, break plastic of fuse for access to metal stabs of fuse remove with needle nose pliers.

Yea that's what I ended up doing. When I tried to pull it out, it just crumbled. 20 yr old fuses at their lifespan I guess.
