I did some searching and found that in order to wire my defrost switch, I need to wire it to the ECC and Gauge fuses on my fuse box. My question is, how can I actually wire it to the box? The places behind those fuses are already filled and I am not sure how I can add another wire to it.
Thanks in advance

Well, I ran into a problem. When I tested the hook up locations for power, the one for the pink/black wire had switched power (which I believe is correct), but the place for the orange/black wire hand no power at any time (even with engine on). I am guessing that this is not normal and something is wrong. Any idea what could be causing this?
Besides the 2 wires I circled in my last message there are only 2 other wires to connect. One is the heavy gauge purple wire that leads all the way down the car to the rear hatch shock. The Other is a heavy gauge Orange and black wire that leads directly to the junction box. ( you can see both of these wires to the left in my picture. )
If that Orange / Black wire is not getting power at any time when connected to the junction box than there is a problem with the power supply from the fusebox to the junction box.
Do you place a circuit breaker into the fuse box yet ???
I put in all the circuit brakers that give power to the junction box and it does have power. I think my problem is that I though the lower wire in the picture you posted was that orange/black wire. What wire should be there if its not the orange/black one?
Ok, I finally had a chance to hook everything up the correct way. After wiring it all up, I hit the switch and nothing. Do I need to have the cable hooked up to the hatch strut and grounded off of the other hatch strut to get any kind of reaction from the button? When I hit the switch, no lights turn on, no sounds, and no power. Any suggestions?
