Fuse link cooked? Fix??

Hi Guys, having a problem with my fans. The fusable link near the battery post is cooked. The wire to the battery cable is cooked but the single pin connector is still good. How do I go about fixing this??..Buy a fuse link and connect one side to the +ve battery post(or connect it tothe original setup in the battery cable??) and the other side to the connector??...
Any pics would be great or step by step.....The wire is cooked up to the fuse link in the battery cable(I think the link is ok though not sure)


Here is my manual fan switch setup(both fans are not working)... :I am using a three prong switch(power,Accesory and ground. I have accessory connected to the black with pink wire on the relay and 12v from the battery to power on the switch and ground to chassis. I am think this is why I fried the fuse link wire. I have both switches hooked up like this(stock dual fan setup)

the wire that cooked was pretty thin to begin with ,the other side of the connector was a 12 guage orange wire feeding the relays...should that also be 12 guage wire(the side that cooked??)

any help would be great guys

Re: Fuse link cooked? Fix??

you can buy new links at auto parts stores, or snag one off a parts car, etc

crimp new one on with heat shrink type connector

done
