Default fusible link? Heater fuse has no volts. Where to look?

Ive got myself a v6 d100 to eventually do a v8 swap to, from my retired d250.

Everything on the d100 works except the heater. So, I got my volt meter out and found there is no juice at the heater fuse feed. I tested it at the feed wire on the back of the fuse box, and there is nothing going in to it.

The heater works great when you jump the fuse. But I dont want to overload the other circuit this winter, and would like to fix it correctly.

I've looked at a wiring schematic, but it doesn't show where exactly the heater fuse gets its feed from, or if it has a fusible link on it. It does say "hot in run" on the schematic, so maybe its the ignition switch?

I really need some help, so I got on here to see if any of you guys have come across the same problem, or know more about it!

according to my Haynes manual you should be looking for the orange fusible link connected to a pink wire.

Thanks!



I don't exactly know where I should be looking for it at? Could it be under the dash by the column or maybe on top the wheel well under the hood with the rest of them?

Does it mean the link is orange and the wire is pink, or orange wire to pink wire with the link in between?

Thanks again!

it is under the hood on the driver side fender. the fusible link is orange and there is 2 orange fusible links so you want the one that is attached to the pink wire.
