My method uses a .250" male spade on the end of the wire. This spade
plugs into the lower slot of the removed fuse #3. No way to put the fuse
back with the wire plugged into place.  If you remove the wire and put
the fuse in all you have done is move the interior lights,etc back to
the main battery. That is one of the advantages of my method. It can
easily be undone so the radio, inside lights, etc can be used even if
the aux battery has croaked.
