fusible links

I have an 89 GTA and the fog lights were inop I traced the red wire with a white marker from the fog light relay and found it broken from its fusible link (in the harness in front of the master cylinder). The fusible link for the fog light was orange. Also broken from its power source at that location were two light blue fusible links. I believe they were the power for the radiator fans but I'm not sure. Has anyone traced these wires to know what they were the power source for? It was not anything that was inside the car but the only thing I noticed that worked after hooking the wires back to power was the fans. And I may just have not noticed them before. Any help appreciated.

If you have found a fusible link that has a red/white wire, that is for the actuator relays for the headlight doors.

I looked on this site and found that the wiring for the fog light relay has red wire with a white trace that is supposed to be hot all the time. Mine was not so I traced it through the harness and found the broken fusible links. The red/white wire had a orange fusible link between it and the power source. Two light blue fusible link wires were also attached to the power source but were also disconnected. I was hoping to find out what the two light blue fusible links fed.
