Wiring
Fusible Link
The Fusible Link ("Main Fuse") connects to the POS battery terminal about six inches from the battery. The fusible link is a special length of wiring that will melt if its rating is exceeded and is there to stop the electrics if the car is drawing too much power, like an open short circuit. It has a special non-flammable coating, and is typically 4 wire sizes smaller than the main feed wire.
WARNING: Do not replace fusible link with a solid wire, or a regular fuse -- you risk burning up the entire wiring system ... see Wiring#Main Wiring
The white wire here has been cut from the Postive battery cable:
