Looking for Fusible Link - Dash/Tail Lights - '97 Aerostar

Does anyone have any experience finding the fusible link location for the dash lights and tail lights on a '97 Ford Aerostar? I was pulling a trailer with it last weekend and pinched the wire to the trailer tail lights. It's just my luck instead of blowing the fuse, I blew the fusible link! Now all I need to do is locate it so I can replace it.

I traced the fuseblock and found about 1/2 the fuses don't have any power - same way with the headlight switch. My headlights and brake lights still work as well as almost everything else.

Anyone have any suggestions?

In engine compartment at starter solenoid battery+.
Usually a few there. Test both ends with 12 volt test light.

Thank you MT-2500!

I found two larger wires attached to the solenoid that branch into several smaller wires and see the word "link" on them. Now to figure-out how to get enough access to them that I can find the blown one. The way the wires disappear into the wire bundle right away, the limited space and the way the wire harness is fastened, it isn't going to be easy to find the one that blew. It sure would have been easier if the fuse would have done it's job.

10-4 on that.
You will have to open up the bundle and check each one.
Good luck
