"...I ended up taking switched 12v from the top of fuse #7..."

A good test at this point would be to pull out fuse #7 and make sure it interrupts the current to the OD switch. If you inadvertently took power off of the wrong side of the fuse block, you would then be running un-fused power to the switch and then down to the transmission, creating a few opportunities for a bad short, severly damaged wiring, and/or fire. Not to freak you out, just being cautious.

If you pulled power from the side of the fuse block that has several fuses bussed together, I can almost guarantee you ended up with an un-fused circuit.
