I used one connector for both in line fuses.. I probably could have not used them since the terminals are on a fuse but ohh well.. one in line fuse powers the controller and the other fuse powers the hot side of the 7 pin plug.
here you can see where I drilled a hole in the firewall and used a rubber grommet and lubed up the 3 wires before I pulled them thru.. the white is the ground the black is hot and the green (normally a blue wire ) is the the control wire to the plug out back..
Anouther shot engine bay side.
This is how I hooked up both feeds
And another shot
Can u see the yellow connector attached to the cruise control. That's one of two grounds... I always find that when I have electrical problems its cause of a bad ground so I always over do the grounds... just like the 2 in line fuses I have 2 ground wires in that connector, one goes to the controller the other goes to the 7 pin plug same then goes to the gas tank filler necks ground... you can also see the wire are now loomed...
here's a closer shot.
Here's a pick of the ground wire at the back

Now here's where I had the most headache... that is the steering column and there is a loom of wire (which I already tore the cover off of) you don't need to tear into the dash, it's right above the big plug you can see in the picture you can also follow the wires from the brake switch itself..... once u find the right loom your going to piggy back the red wire from the controller onto the white wire in the loom.
And another pic..
Here's the final install of the controller... I just used the supplied screws and screwed it so that I could still get access to the parking brake..
Here you can see the wires hanging down in the back... I loomed the wires from front to back to protect it...
And here's the final shot of the 7 pin plug... I already had the 4 plug "T" so I just used marine grade heat shrink butt connectors for the green (or blue), black and white wires.. I thru out the zinc plated screws for the bracket-to-bumper and used stainless steel hardware.. now mind u I work at West Marine so I got all the wires and connectors pretty cheap, as I wasn't happy with the connectors I got with the "KIT"..... ohh and this was my first how to write up so please feel free to add too it... since I did all of it from my phone it probably has some errors...
I hope this helps somebody in the future...
