that rod is your kick down linkage.should be hooked to the carb by the acclerator linkage.I'm sure we have fuse box diagrams in the sticky section.you should more than 5 fuses in the cues Box.

Here is the power distribution diagram. It has the fuse panel diagram as well.

The headlights isn't powered by the fuse panel. It's protected by a fuse link, and a circut breaker in the headlight switch itself. That is why your headlights work.

Replace all the appropriate fuses in the fuse panel as it is marked in the diagram. Then if something doesn't work, we can go on from there.
