I posted about my dome light and radio acting wonky. After a little more investigating I have found the 12v continuous terminal is dead. What could cause this?

Bad fuse? Bad fusable link?

What wire is it (color/location)?

The terminal is where the dome light plugs in. The orange wire. I unplugged and put test light on it and nothing. So I think a fusible link is bad but have to chase down. Not sure where to start looking.

There are two spots were fusible links are. On the starter and just above the brake booster on that terminal with two nuts on it.
