Fuseable links are a specific resistance over specific length .  the amount of 
resistance is determined by the gauge of the wire in the Fuseable link.  
 It's sold at some places by the foot and other places in tiny rolled up bits 
in blister packs.   The Fuseable link wire is designed to melt ( burn apart) 
if the current draw exceeds the links ability to flow current end to end over 
its predetermined measured length by manufacturers in a specific 
application.Its frequently used in starting circuits right at the starter 
solenoid.  Certain manufacturers use measured lengths of specific gauge wire 
in ignition circuits to trigger electric tachometers.   Other interesting 
applications of specific wire applications , GM for a number of years had 
ignition resistors online between the ignition and the coil.  Then GM went to 
a specific gauge wire in a specific length through the wire harness to convey 
power to the coil making up the required resistance.Another trick manufacturers 
do is hide diodes wrapped in the harness.   But Fuseable link is used far 
more frequently than anyone can imagine.Not remembering the resistance values, 
I know of 3 colors of the link shielding, gray, orange and brown.  I have 
brown and orange here.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original

AMTo: Spridget list;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Auto Experts: Not LBC but stupid 
fuseable link needed      for my truck..ugh.List,I have exhausted all sites 
stores and groups for this nasty bugger called a fuseable link which to me is 
just a wire. I'll make one after I exhaust all other efforts but prefer not to 
open up my wiring harness and solder in.I need this "looks like" image in link, 
5 wires called fuseable links which to me is just a thinner than connected to 
wire at 6" long:Why can't I just use wire that is 6" long (I read they need to 
be 6" long) and just the 4 gauges smaller than what they go into? At the very 
bottom is a nice youtube of a guy soldering them in and he made the most 
sense.What did MG and Austin Healey do to not require them in our 
Spridgets?Many thanks as always school me on what Spridgets use to not need 
these.Linda62 California Sprite "Pinky"Knowledge is power, repairs are a PITA :
