It is not likely; a fuse link is in series with the battery and will prevent current from flowing if it's bad, but will not itself run down the battery if the car or truck is off.
What it can do is prevent the battery from charging. The power from the voltage regulator that charges the battery also has to go through that fuse link; if the fuse link is bad, the battery may not charge fully.
IS THE FUSE IN IT BLOWN? If not get a battery and a test light. You will probably have to cut the fuseable link out. touch one wire end to the battery and make a circuit with it, if the test light doesn't light up and the fuse isn't blown it is bad
For a 1992 Ford F-150, the main fuse link is typically located in the engine compartment, near the battery. It's usually part of the fuse box or connected directly to the battery positive terminal. You can find videos on platforms like YouTube by searching for "1992 Ford F-150 fuse link" to see visual guides on locating and checking it. Make sure to have the vehicle's manual on hand for specific fuse link details and ratings.
most likely a blown fuse
My suggestion is to make sure that you have a good connection between your starter and your battery. Is the starter even functioning? If not, it is probably a bad starter, a bad battery, a bad fusible link for the starter, a blown fuse, or just a bad connection.

Yes. Bad wiring can make any fuse blow
Make sure that the battery fuse is not blown. It is a 40 or 70 amp in the fuse box under the hood.
Disconnect the battery cables for safety, then Use a pair of needle nose pliers and remove any left over pieces, then relace the fuse with the correct rating. Of course, disconnect the battery cable first, but make certain that the fuse is or is not bolted in on the sides as the 80 main fusible link, usually is.
Your battery is down, or one of main fuses quit. You need to check the fuse box in the engine compartment. Also make sure that you have clean battery wire contacts from rust and dirt.
Alternator output fuse or fusible link under the hood, I can't believe the people that don't state make, model, year and engine size before posting a question.
Xantrex is an electronics company that makes power inverters, battery chargers, portable backup power, and accessories such as battery monitors, and battery fuse and holders!
While hooking up a battery make sure to connect the positive cable first, then the ground. If you have been doing it that way and you have a fuse that keeps blowing you have a problem in the circuitry after the fuse. Some short in the wiring or problem with a device is causing the fuse to blow ( thankfully ) rather than destroy something else or completely drain your battery.
You can make two types of battery testers.The easy one is with a light-bulb.You need: 2 wires, a light bulb, a fuse, and a battery to test.If you attach the positive terminal of the bulb to the cathode of the battery, and the negative terminal of the bulb to a fuse and then the fuse to the anode of the battery, you may judge the battery's capacity based on the brightness of the bulb.(Note: If it does not work, replace the fuse or try without a fuse, the fuse is in case the bulb explodes, which rarely happens. Otherwise, you have a dead battery.)The hard way is the compass way.You need: a long wire, a compass, and a battery to test.Wrap the wire around the compass but leave the two ends open. Connect the two ends to the anode and cathode of your battery. Judge the battery capacity based on the speed of the spinning needle in the compass.(Note: if it doesn't work, wrap more wire around the battery compass, use a stronger wire, otherwise the battery is dead.)I, who improved it, am the same person who wrote the answer, I just realized that I wrote battery instead of compassafter I published my answer, so I improved it after I finished.
