Default 1997 suburban fuse puzzle

Hello, maybe someone can explain this to me. Thanks in advance. Ted

I was cleaning under the hood and I noticed that I have NO 30 amp fuse
in the STOP / HAZARD fuse position, see image below, and yet my STOP and HAZARDS work. Never had a problem.

I am the original owner and neither my mechanic, nor myself, have ever changed a fuse. Moreover, recently when I tried to place a 30 amp max fuse into the STOP / HAZARD position, thinking it was left out at the factory, I noticed that the fuse holder does NOT have the clips in that position to even hold a fuse. It simply won't accept a fuse in that spot.

So, it seems to me that GM used a generic fuse box for these vehicles and only populated my box with fuses particular to my SUBURBAN. But, since my STOP / HAZARDS work, where is the fuse for my STOP / HAZARDS?

THANKS AGAIN (see diagram)

In the diagram for the fuse box under the hood, in the lower right corner (one up from the bottom) there is a 30 amp max fuse for STOP / HAZARD.

That's not uncommon to have empty fuse locations with no clips. Have you checked your owner's manual to see what it specifies for your STOP/ HAZARD fuse value and location?

Been a while since I've had my '99 Yukon old style but it may be in the dash fuse box. The one on the dash drivers left side when you open the door.

Pull out the STOP?HAZARD fuse in the lower right of the fuse box and see if they stop working. If they do then you found the correct fuse.
