Hey guys, I just went through this too. Went through three different add-a-circuits(pigtails) before finding the right one. I know this thread is buried but just summarizing the other replies and my own experience for any future readers.

1. The fuses in the passenger kick panel fuse box are: Low-profile ATM (they have a plastic tongue between the two metal blades).
2. You can't use a Low-profile ATM add-a-circuit because the metal blades are not long enough (due to design of the add-a-circuit and the Ford fusebox).
3. You have to buy a Mini ATM add-a-circuit (it has longer blades without the plastic tongue thing).
4. ATR is not the same as ATM.
5. Make sure you get a amp matched mini-ATM fuse to replace the low profile ATM fuse that you will be replacing with the pigtail. This is in addition to the fuse that you will use for your accessory.
6. Install the pigtail the right way so that the electricity actually goes "through" the fuse. In my truck, you inserted so that you could read the fuses from above.
7. Make sure you clarify which fuse/slot is for your new accessory and which is for the fuse you are replacing and match the amps accordingly.
