One issue with fitting the fuse into PDC cavity #28 (other than it illuminating your 4WD symbol in 2WD is that it resets if you disconnect the battery. So if you have inserted the fuse to override the interlock, and disconnect the battery to work on something - like we all do; then the override doesn't work until you pull the fuse again and then disconnect the battery (or pull the fuse every time you disconnect the battery.
I found it a lot simpler to just remove the interlock completely and join the wires.

yes, I guess you are correct. the interlock is a bit of a pain, same with the buzzer for seatbelt, handbrake, headlights etc, I guess that is the world we live in nowadays. everything is dumbed down to the lowest denominator
the other week I had the displeasure to drive a hire car and a message flashed across the instrument panel with an annoying cheesy "hello" as I turned on the ignition, plus another message cropped up to "stop and have a break" after driving for an hour. not only that there was a myriad of things that had to be done and in place in order just to start the bloody thing. made the Jeep clutch interlock seem like nothing
bit like a lot of the sensors and driver assistance on modern cars now, brakes that engage if you get too close to another vehicle for those who don't look where they are going, self parking devices for those who are clueless when it comes to parallel parking, stability control for those who cant drive. the list is endless. makes you wonder how some would cope if these systems happened to fail or maybe become too reliant upon them
