And Ballad, heroine is bad for you
That's what my DNA says. Actually it says I'd enjoy it. I've easily kicked all addictive drugs. Love demerol. I've had some bumps and bangs along the way.

Hero is derived from the royal son, Heru-Ur(R). Heroine is from:
1650s, "demigoddess," from Latin heroine, heroina (plural heroinae) "a female hero, a demigoddess" (such as Medea), from Greek hērōine, fem. of hērōs (see hero (n.1)).

there is a 7 amp inline fuse in the pigtail to the battery,

Although you were well intentioned, when you exceeded the limits of the fuse by 30 times or more it smoked before you melted the harness.

Replace the inline fuse in the pigtail and you'll be fine

You used the wrong connection, instead of using the battery tender connection, you should have used the air bag connection, might have worked then.
