Fusible links are behind the battery. There should be a power distribution block with a flock of red wires.

Fuse links are essentially pieces of wire designed to melt.....slowly, unlike fuses. They power motors which tend to suck a lot of current.

They can be bought for small $$$ at almost any auto supply.
