97 wont start

I read were the #22 fuse keeps blowing and how to by pass the fuel heater, but being new to the diesel side of things it looks like i can't do that to the 97, I replace the fuse, try to start and its blown again. also the "wait to start" light doesnt come on at all. where to next

It's number 5 below. Not to hard to replace if needed.

It worked, back up and running, thank you very much. Now do I need to replace the heater before winter or not worry about it.
