No I never really did get squared away. I have a number of things to do so it slipped to a lower priority. I ordered a replacement with pigtails from eBay. But that seems to be on a slow boat from China literally. So I haven't attempted the removal yet.

I did replace the 31 fuse and it seemed to work for a minute. But I believe there is a missing portion of the contact and what's left created a high resistance in the poor connection. So the fuse blew almost immediately after I plugged in a GPS.
