Is this a fuse or what. Can i cut it off and run direct wire to that cluster? Trying to get my fan working

That's (was) a fusible link. You need it. It protects the fan and the wire, in case of disaster... imagine your car burning to the ground for an electrical fire started by that wire, in the event of some minor fender-bender or something, that pinched it.

You can get new ones at AZ and the like, real parts stores, all over the Net, etc.

Do it right, you'll be glad you did someday.

So i can just connect a fuse on that wire?

Sure; if you like intermittent connections in a critical place that will randomly go bad and stop working and make your car overheat.

Fusible link is the better way to go.

I looked for fusible links but advance didnt have any like that. So i bought one like this. Will this be ok

Should work just fine.

if that's a 30A, you may not be successful. start up draw and all.

I wouldn't do that. Speaking strictly as an electrical/electronic engineer in my spare time.

I don't like intermittents.

Fusible link is the way to go.

How do i wire an indicator light to come on when cooling fan does?

Looks like your dealing with a 25amp circuit.
I'm sure any napa sells fusable link wire.

If your using a led you need a resister in series or the led will burn out.
You might want atleast 400 ohms for a small me led.
You can wire it To the blk/ red wire of the fan relay. Fuse this wire at the relay then a resister to the anode side of the led and ground the cathode.
