find blown fuse for fuel heater sounds like heater is shorted in filter housing and blown fuse , which will cause concern you are referring to

if it is blown ,unhook white conector on back of filter housing ,and everything should work fine ,dont have to have fuel heater

if you dont have a wait to start light , the pcm isnt getting power , you may want to look at those fuses again, the wait to start light is controlled only by the pcm ,
