Easiest of the 2 to use would be Fuse 5, IMHO. It is also is meant for a much higher current load than Fuse 6 since Fuse 5 is fuel pump fuse in models that use relay socket #2 for FP relay. (some diesels use relay socket #2 for glow plug relay but these don't use Fuse 5)
Either way you need either one large round female pin for F5 use or 2 small round female pins for F6. F5 also needs a female spade of .375 to plug onto the N plug on back of fuse panel.
