Was your original fuse marked as 6A. Mine had no number, but now I'm thinking it might actually be 4A (was pink). I'll try swapping it out with a new 4 or 5 maybe.

You may be right. Looking at an auto fuse chart it jumps from 4A to 5A and then to 7.5A and the 4A is pink.

I thought it had a 6 on the top of the fuse, but it was very hard to make out. I’ll probably replace the 7.5A with the 5A to be safe.

I would rather use this harness as I don’t want to re-run another one not do I want to pull the fuse box to install the one coming.

Looked at the blown fuse this morning in better light and... it has a 3 on top... . Couldn't see it outside yesterday since its barely recessed and it's all glossy pink plastic. Take a look at yours if you still have it.
