Then yeah, it's that connector at the firewall I was talking about. It's where all the wires go from the engine compartment into the cab.

This info. is from the Electrical Vacuum Trouble shooting manual.

For the 88 F150-350 there were two Book type service manuals.
Truck Shop Manaul A and B.

You could also purchase the Electrical Vacuum Trouble Shooting manual
Engine Emission Diagnosis manual, Light Duty Specifications Book, Owners Guide and Schematics. The schematics I got were copies and if folded out are like 2ft x 2ft and very hard to decipher due to the way they label the pages. All of these documents were published by http://www.helmsinc.com

The company is located in MI and publishes the service manuals for Ford and GM.
That explains it. I have manuals A and B, but not that troubleshooting manual. I'll have to see about getting that. It has been so helpful with my car.

I have not seen this on a 1988 van so the 1989 truck may have these fuse links also.

A Photo of them:

I'll look for that. I'll bet there is one. It would be highly unusual if the wire itself went bad.
