Fusible link for glow plug controller

Good evening fellow IDIers

Does anyone out there know where I can purchase the proper fusible link for my glow plug controller battery to controller wires?m (My truck is a 1988 F250 7.3 IDI) I checked the constant power wires to my glow plug controller from the battery and got 0 volts. I'm pretty certain the fusible link blew when the last controller went bad and I just replaced it.

you can buy Fuse link wire from most all local Automotive parts stores... if you can be more specific to which wire failed I could lead you to a proper replacement IE an in line fuse maybe could also replace the fuse link.

I believe its the two thick yellow wires in the harness that come from the battery to the controller. They are supposed to provide constant voltage to the controller. I measured them using a multimeter and got 0 volts. I need to dig a little further, but my bet is the fusible link in it burned up and that would be the weakest link.
