Can we do this? (aka The DIY Cruise Control Thread)

Ok...so the first test didn't go so hot. I have some pics...
















So I started the car and the airbag light was on...duh...I don't have the passenger side plugged in. I pulled out the driveway nice and easy so as not to tip over my speedometer. I hit 40mph and press that "on" button...pop! There goes a fuse and all my dash lights start coming on and the "cool" light is blinking, and the car is boggin down. It didn't stall, but it wouldn't go faster. SO I pulled over and started checking fuses. My 7.5A Ignition fuse blew. Now I'm not sure if something crossed or what. I checked and double checked all my connections. Not bare wires, nothin'. I changed the fuse and everything was fine...safe to say I didn't try testing it again on the way home :)

Here's what I did:
I tapped the #40 pin on the ECM connector "A21" and ran the wire through the firewall and spliced it with the red wire from the switch setup.
Then I took a jumper...with a fuse... and jumped from the blue wire CTScott showed me in the engine compartment fuse box, but the white wire wasn't where it should be, but it was just to ground it. So I jumped it to another white wire that grounded (according to my multimeter touching the white wire and the frame...0 resistance) Anyway, I have no idea why it tripped the ingnition fuse. Please help me with any ideas. I hope i didn't fcuk up the ECM by blowing the fuse. Everything seemed perfectly fine when I replaced it. HELP! :(
