I figured out the issue, and it was operator error. The fuse block has to be mounted 90degrees on its side with the harness running out of the top. It does not describe that in the instructions, but is visible in the picture if you look closely. In this position it looked like the steering column bracing would interfere with one of the flashers, but there is enough clearance. I stand by my opinion that I would rather have a separate fuse block and bulkhead connector vs this design, but with it mounted in, the two piece unit is solid and I have no concerns of issues. Anyone using this kit, I STRONGLY suggest mounting the bulkhead template to a piece of heavy card stock, plastic, or tin. I mounted mine to a thin strip of sheet metal and cut it out with shears. I left two tabs on the inside that allowed me to seat it hands free and scribe my marks.

Moving forward!
