TEMPORARY??????......REMOVE THE FUSE, STICK A WIRE IN EACH LEG OF FUSE HOLDER---MAKE MY OWN IN-LINE FUSE W/2 FEMALE SPADE CONNECTORS (SEE MY PIC, AS FAR AS HOW TO MAKE AN INLINE FUSE HOLDER) USE THE CORRECT FUSE IN THE TEMPORARY SYSTEM

THEN SEARCH A SALVAGE YARD OR BUY A NEW SWITCH

INSTALLING IN THE FUSE HOLDER KEEPS YOU FROM CHOPPING UP YOUR WIRES---EZily DISMANTLED WHEN YOU FIX IT CORRECTLY
