Fusible Links?

Ok guys, as you can see, Im new at this. Right now Ive got an '85 Berlinetta with no ignition, radio, headlights or dome. I do however have a maplight, horn and high beams. From what I can gather, it sounds like fusible links. If anybody can help me find these(pictures would be great), I would be much appreciative.

Check in your owners manual for the locations of the fuse panels, mine is under the steering column. Pull out the appropriate fuse and check to see if the metal is blown between the two poles. Fusible links on my car are located next to the battery, but I don't think that they control that stuff.

Good luck

Got no owners manual, but I checked the normal fuse panel under the column already. Theyre all good. I guess there are fusible links off of my starter, which sounds like they could be it, but i cant find em. Thanks for the help though.

chiltons 82-85 book says this:
1. a molded splice at the starter solenoid "Bat" terminal, an 14 gauge red wire.
2. a 16 gauge red fusible link at the junction block to protect the unfused wiring of 12 gauge or larger wire. this link stops at the bulkhead connector.
3. the altornator warning light and feild circuitry is protected by a 20 gauge red wire fusible link used in the "battery feed to voltage regulator #3 terminal.
4. ammeter circut is protected by 2 20 gauge links at the junction block and battery to starter circut.
