Inchworm E-locker harness blowing fuses

I had run all the wires for the E-locker switch except for the ground but while grounding the ground wire to the frame the ground wire sparked and blew the fuse. I don't think the ground wire should have sparked or blown the fuse but I can't figure out whats wrong. I replaced the fuse and blew another. So I pluged the wire into a 10 amp fuse and it didn't blow but I didn't get any power either.

Here are the pics of he chart and the fuse box covers I would like your opinion on which fuse to tap into. It suggest the radio fuse but I don't know where that is so I have been taping into the DOME Fuse which is 15A. Thanks!

Wait, so you never fixed the wire issue, you just used a different fuse?

Did you color-code all your wiring? I found with my e-locker swap, since I didn't have enough colors of wire, that I ended up losing track of which wire went to what. So, when I went to test the voltage, nothing worked right. I had to re-wire everything.

I just talked to the guys at inchworm and they were as helpfull as they could be so tonight I am going to have someone else look at all the wiring and see if they can find a mistake. But I'm still interested to see if anyone else has ideas thanks!

Alright I figured it out I didn't wrap all the wires as good as I should have where the new harness wires to the old one. So one of my wires was touching another and causing a short. I took some time and wrapped everything real good and now I have my locker and I love it. Thanks for the help.
