A fusible plug is typically made from a metal alloy that has a low melting point, often consisting of lead, tin, or bismuth. This alloy is designed to melt at a specific temperature to release pressure and prevent explosions in pressurized vessels, such as boilers or storage tanks. The plug is usually housed in a protective casing to ensure safety and reliability during operation.
A fusible plug is a metal cylinder that has been threaded with a hole drilled throughout it. The plugs can be found in a variety of metals. Heated metal is used to seal the hole.
A rupture disk (disc) is a pressure relief device that reliefs pressure when the pressure inside the protected equipment exceeds the set pressure. A fusible plug reliefs pressure when the plug is weakened due to high temperature.
Glow plugs don't necessarily have a fuse. They do have fusible links though. That is a wire with a smaller gauge wire in line that will burn should a short occur. On a ford they are usually near the glow plug controller. However all the glow plug wires on idi fords are made of the fusible link wire so they could realistically burn in 2 anywhere.
It is located above the furnace to prevent it from accident.

the cooling fan fusible link comes off the battery cable then goes down to a plug that turns up towards the fan relay and also the alternator.
If the fusible link is made into the wiring it will have to be cut out. The new link will be solidly connected, such as soldering it in, then the connections sealed form weather.
what are fusible links
Yes the glow plug fuse is the R2 relay in the fuse box, there is a fusible link as well that is the thick red one coming out the front of the fuse box
try testing the a/c switch, this is a common problem.also i have had the wiring plug replaced where the wires actually plug into compressor. had power everywhere except plug was faulty
If the fusible link itself comes apart, it's faulty and needs replacing, preferably with a new fusible link of the same size. Fusible links are a kind of permanent fuse, so it needs to be there and it needs to be the right one. If a new one cannot be obtained from an auto parts store, a Dodge dealer should have it. Install the new one as per its directions.
What ever circuit that fusible link protected would be dead if the fusible link is blown.
