Does an Automobile have a Main Fuse?

Although I'm not aware of any that do, it is possible that some may.

Most vehicles, instead of a main "fuse" have what is called a "Fusible Link."

A Fusible Link is nothing more than a piece of wire who's size is specifically selected to "act like" a fuse, and melt in two IF the current [current is measured in Amperes (Amps)] flowing through it is above the designed maximum current limit.

Fusible Links are usually installed "right up front," first in the electrical system between the battery and the rest of the vehicle's electrical system.
