2005 Tribute AWD question

I just purchased a 2005 Mazda Tribute S with all wheel drive. As you may
already know the AWD system is computer controlled and active all the the
time. I found the 10 amp fuse that controls the AWD system. I was thinking
of pulling it out and running front wheel drive to extends the life of the
AWD system.

I just wanted to know if you all think thats a good idea. Or could I be
causing damage. Im thinking that fuse just cuts the power to the electric
clutch. I did pull it out and every thing else works. So I decided no other
system uses that fuse.

The only down side I found was the 4WD light blinking on the dash. But
luckly for me the way I sit, I cant see it because of the steering wheel.

The reason I feel like its ok, is because it says in the manual that if the
system over heats, the computer will disable it and run front wheel drive
untill it cools down. But it never hurts to have a second opinion.

Thanks
