Fuseable links in the automotive/truck and industrial world come in various wire gauge sizes due to the need to carry different current loads. The common size for most American cars build before to 90's is 14 gauge, but can vary if the car was heavily optioned with electrical devices that might be fed by the main wire. Normally this wasn't the case even though I have seen factory 12 and 16 gauge but they were rare.
14 AWG Fusible link wire, available at any good automotive parts store.
Its the big black wire coming off the battety going into a smaller wire that connects to the alternator. the big black cable connects to a wire 4x as small that wire is the fusible link.
no
It's located on the end if the main power wire coming off the alternator. This wire connects to the starter. The fusible link is located on the starter end of the wire.
Ford's fusible links are usually connected to the battery side of the starter solenoid.
2 wire nsizes smaller than the wire you are protecting.
check fusible link wires connected to the starter..fusible links looks like a skinny wire that has a fatter wire in the middle...the fusible link is fat but on the inside the wire is skinny and act like a fuse which burns out once in a while...
the fusible links are next to the Battery you will have to take apart the wire harness cover then you will see them
In the engine compartment, passenger side, on top of the wheel well hump closer to the firewall is where it ends, follow the wires coming off of the alternator, you will have to remove the wires from the wire loom, the wire will be connected with a thick rubber insulation on either side of the fusible link(the words 'fusible link' will be printed on the side of the fusible link wire) then it has an eye end and is connected to a single connector panel with a few other wires this is all on the wheel well.

A wire with a fuse spliced into it. They are common on battery cables
There will be two smaller wires that mount to the starter solenoid. These mount to the same post on the solenoid as the battery cable. The last few inches of this wire is fusible link. Many times the link melts and people will replace it with regular wire. It's there to protect your vehicle wiring. If it's missing, I highly recommend replacing it with fusible link.
