No. When you flip your switch you are grounding pin 85. 86 is connected to ground as well, so there is no voltage drop. Without a voltage drop (difference) current doesnt flow and nothing happens. So your "ground" by your switch should actually be a power OR the 86 pins should go to power; it doesnt matter which.
Also, fusing that link is not necessary since it takes far less than 0.5amps to trigger the relay, so in total you are probably looking at a 1a draw for all three.
A fuse needs to be on the 87-30 path.

It really shouldnt matter. Im not sure what those circuits are rated for current wise, but most automotive relays are 30a. If one of them draws more than that then you need a bigger relay (or run several in parallel). If at any point the current in that path exceeds the fuse the fuse should blow so the current is then 0. Where that happens doesnt matter.

Gotcha. Thanks for all the help, now to just find what wires going into the fuse box are the ones I need.
Also if it's a lighted switch just run the other wire to an ACC wire under the dash or any wire that is only hot when key is on?
