If that was a fuse link, then it has burned/broken off.
The purpose of a fuse link is to protect the rest of the wiring harness in case of a short. But it may have failed from vibration.
Typically a fuse link will connect to the same post of the solenoid as the + battery cable.
It will then power the amp gauge (if equipped) or go to the BAT post of the ignition switch and/or the big output post of the alternator.
Check for power at the big post of the alternator, and the BAT post of the ignition switch. Both should have power any time the battery cables are both connected.
You can get a new fuse link at the auto supply in the electrical section. Not sure what all it is protecting, but if the alternator is charging through it you will need about a 50 amp link. Be nice to know what amp alternator it has, then match the link to that.
See if you can find a brand on the alternator. Some have the output amps stamped on the side of the case.
And the neutral switch does need to be tied together to bypass it.
