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.
