With the fuse in the fuse box, there are two test leads on the top of the fuse... do they both have voltage? If the fuse is good they will. Is the fuse good (and to pharaphrase an old TV show: dammit jim, stop looking at it to try an figure it out... test it with a [multi-]meter).

you are the electrical man I've never even noticed those tabs before. Anyways I think we are making headway because yes both of them on top and on bottom have 12volts.

Anyways I think we are making headway because yes both of them on top and on bottom have 12volts.This is in the drivers kick panel above the fuse box and is a 17 pin plug with 16 wires in it. The white/green is in pin 10 and next to the lock tab for the connector.
Does the white/green have 12 volts on both sides of the plug X-17.

lol, I don't know I guess we will find out 
Anyways yes I need to find a screw driver that is long enough and small enough to change the idle while the intercooler is on. Then I will have the joy of moving on to suspension! Yeah! then it will be over
