Kind of, I purchased a bait tank timer to get some prolonged battery use (Kayakfishingsupplies) . I tried to wire it in yesterday and thought I had it correct..

When I plugged the battery into the harness with the bait tank switch off, the bait tank started running with the timer working, when I flipped the switch up, the pump started running continuously. I then proceeded to change to wires that I thought could be the culprit and when I plugged the battery in my bait tank started smoking, and BAD. The positive leads to the timer fried and I heard a pop, which I'm guessing was the fuse. I was going to try to solder two new positive leads on the timer to see if it still works, but the fuse that was installed in the wiring I'm guessing needs replaced. There was a lot of corrosion around the fuse as well as waterproofing material, so I'm unsure as to what needs to go in. I'm guess 2.5-3amps?
