Also, I just have a 3amp fuse in the slot with the wire, is that ok?
Thanks guys!

Wow! i remember this thread! :p
Yes, i left it at that setup, it was perfect. I even left the same setup and swaped it into my C55. I never used a 2amp fuse. Just the 5 and 3. If you mean that you need only 1 fuse, well accrding to what everyone else told me, you need 2.

Great write up and pics @ N-4speed. Thanks to you I ordered up the part you suggest and was able to knock this out in a few minutes! A good hardwire solution has been bugging me for some time, finally put that one to rest.
