Fuse link Cooked?

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone ever fixed your fried fusable link coming from the battery .I am having a problem... my wire comming off the battery fried(the single pronge connector is still ok). the other side of the connector is ok--- the orange wire is fine. the wire melted all the way up to the link in the + battery cable. the link piece I think is ok(not sure). the wire that melted was pretty thin(didnt look like 12 guage) when I inspected it compared to the other side of the connector going to the fan relays(looks like a 12 guage orange wire). can I put another fusable link from the +battery post to the original connector?? the connector is still fine just the length of the wire cooked..
how would I go about doing it?? buy a fusable link and connect it directly to the +ve battery terminal and the other end to the connector??

any pictures would be great...how to,step by step would also be awesome..


I am currently running the manual fan switches off the black wire with red stripe on the relays.the manual fan switch is a power switch(acc,ground and power prongs).I think that is where my problem lies why the link cooked.

I have accessory on the switch going the the fan relay(balck with red stripe wire) and +12v from the battery going to power on the switch .and gnd to a ground point on the chassis.

I have an 88 iroc dual fans

any help would be great
