Be careful about selecting a fusible link. It should be a smaller gauge (higher number) than the wire it serves. For instance that 10 ga fusible link that Jerry linked to would be used on a 6 gauge harness wire. If you use a fusible link that's the same gauge as the wire you're connecting to, it won't protect that wire. You want the fusible link to melt before the rest of the wire does. Fusible links also have insulation that will contain the melted wire and not go up in flames.
