wiring fix?

I know Peter is familiar with this topic, as we messed around with it at Mystic.
The wire to my rear air bag compressor was cut...who knows why, and the compressor seems to work fine when powered up.
I traced the wire from the fuse block, and found it had power at the block, but no power a foot or two away under the hood area, where it goes into the wire "snake" to the rear.
I ran a new wire from the cut spot to the compressor as the problem was between the fuse block and the snake, so I tapped power at the front, and all worked well, although I noticed when the compressor cut off (bags at charged level) the wire seemed to "stick" to the power source, the battery splitter terminal.
For now, I am leaving it where I can manually connect power every so often, until I can get it run all the way into the fuse block. The seat has to come out before I can get in there to do that.
Anyone see any potential problems? Seems like a decent fix to me, if temporary. By the way I have 12 gauge wire in this splice, but no fuse between the line and the compressor.
