You sure it's not #19?

Sounds like the fuel bowl heater. If it shorts out it wont' start and will blow the fuse. To get to it you have to pull out the fuel filter, unscrew the center post (LH thread so turn clockwise to loosen) and on the bottom you'll see the metal disc lookiing thing. That's the fuel heater, you can unplug it at the bottom inside.

You can run without one without any problems, or get a new one and replace it.

For the 97 it shows trailer battery relay. 19 is for the headlights and such.
