Your local auto parts store can sell you replacement fusible link wire that you can crimp on where the old one was. You just need to know what size or bring in a piece of the old one with you.
I had that same issue with my 85 fifth ave. Just fix your electrical problem. If the car is a 1982-89 it's easy. It's a blown fusible link right near the positive battery terminal. (This most likely applies to the 90s models, but I'm not as familiar with those.)There are three leeds at the positive terminal; one to the starter, one to the headlights/interior lights (85s have a white connector on it), and the last one powers everything else (85s have a black connector followed by a single fusible link then a fusible link bunch). When the first fusible link on that last leed goes bad you will still have interior lights, the door chime, and all front running lights and headlights, but nothing else. Disconnect both terminals on the battery, negative first. Cut out the fusible link, about two inchs after the black connector and one inch after the inline connector. (Note that the black connector separates, but the inline connector is solid. These inline connectors follow all fusible links.) Replace that gap with fusible link wire in the same gauge as the fusible link (the color of the wire tells you the gauge, orange=20ga. on the 85). Soder the connections if you can, then cover them with electrical tape. Once the fuse is replaced, the ignition system will be functional again. For a chart of fusible link color codes it is best to refer to a manual such as Haynes.
more than likely there is a fusible link in the wire before it gets to the fuse box. very hard to pinpoint and fix. you need to take to professional with the proper diagnostic tools
you can buy a book at auto zone usually kept directly under the counter for every vehicle make and model that will tell you where to find everything on that vehicle and how to fix things on it step by step.
fuse
Step back on each end of the burnt wire and cut it into. Take that piece to the parts store and tell them you need a fuse link that is the same size wire as this one and the connectors to put it back together. Then go home and put it on your truck.
The awnser is in the question, yes, your headlights grounded, yes, there power comes from a fuse link. when you start a car energy flows from the battery to start seleniod and at least 2-3 fuse links are there one for electronics and one for lights if one blows plan on spending 100$ to fix it at a shop
my answer is 650$ to fix one
buy a new one ^^
