What does the white wire clip to?

Carl,

Yes, a bad fuse link will kill all power as described. So long as you don't have that wire hooked up where it was with that red wire you should be fine if all was well prior.

I will look now that I know just what you need. If I have one you can have it for whatever it takes to send it to you.

Yes, from the suppressor would create a ground for the lighting, then run it to the lower corner of the dash frame where it can ground with the chassis and not the frame.
