Killed the Gremlin

A few days ago I went to start my van and it turned over but didn't start. Later in the day I tried again and it started. I replaced the coil then the AC and power windows didn't work. When I turned either one on the red "brake" light on the dash went on. Finally 3 days later I figured out where the gremlin was hiding. One of the fusible links in the engine compartment was burned out. Instead of replacing it with another wire I put a fuse in it instead. Seems to work, gets a little warm but it works.

I ordered a service manual off ebay and as soon as I get it I will trace the circuit and see what is all on it.
