Yeah I really didn't like it being so close to the spring for that same reason, but the only other option I saw was to run it on the right side, and there is a lift bar there that would wear on it. I'm not too concerned about the wire where it is right now. The only way it could short is when there is power running to it, and that's only when the switch is on. Plus I have a fuse on the line.
As far as the quick connect goes; I'll likely get an insulated one and switch it out. Thanks for pointing that out.
