Why the positive battery cable has a fuse on it and what it is for? I am having a connection problem with the assembly that holds that fuse. Also, if anyone knows that the assembly is called and what the part number is. Thanks

 

there is a fuse, it protects the car.

 

When you shorten the positive wire to the chassis you'll learn . It is supposed to blow preventing wire from melting insulation and starting a fire.

Fusible link?
