Good thing it was only a fuse. It's too easy to kill an ECU that way!

Yeah, it was partly my fault for being in such a rush and not checking the polarity.

Where did you find the 150A fusible link?
I bought it at Lexus of Cerritos for like 16 bucks.

Yeah for some reason Autozone only carried up to 120a fusible link. They didn't have any 150a.
