It is not necessary to unplug the link. Simply check it for continuity with nothing in the car turned on.
A better check, is to test for voltage, which should be available at both ends of the link. Best to use a test lamp which draws reasonable current, rather than a sensitive meter.
According to the wiring diagrams, the only circuit not involving the fuse link is that supplying the head lights.
A rather strangely arranged circuit involves the connection of the alternator. I have tried to sort this out but have not received any co-operation. If this circuit is interupted, several sub circuits will be without battery voltage. Check in particular the plug connections and what I understand are white coloured wires running to the alternator.
There is also a 45 amp fuse which supplies the sub board which you should check. This is located alongside, and outside of the fuse link
