"injection" fusible link question

hi guys,
am trying to understand something related to my GSL-SE wiring. the .5sq fusible link is labelled "injection" but when i look at the wiring diagram, that power wire doesn't connect to the injectors at all...which received power from the .3sq link (and provides power to the ignitors as well). am i wrong here?

reason i am asking is that i need to provide power to the injectors in my REW so need to make sure i pull from the correct power wire.

Man what a pain in the butt it is to try to add a pic using the iPad...not sure if anyone has this issue.

Let's try this again...here's the page in question. U can see the W wire after the .3sq fusible link which goes to right main relay, then to the BY wire to the injectors.

Link to pic if it does not show up:

I was under the impression that on the -se the injectors received power off of the coils but it does look like that is also tied to the BY wire on the main relay that is fed from the W (0.3sq link) wire.

i used my multimeter and traced the wires. the BY (after relay) is coming from the .5sq link, while the RW wire is coming from the 03sq link. based on this, i would say the wiring diagram is incorrect and has those 2 links swapped.

Wish i looked in here sooner,just finished 2nd gen fusebox upgrade. You are correct about power origin of that circuit. Suggest upgrade fuselink(S) to second gen type. Those links are 30+ yrs old and possible liability. 2nd gen type fuse plugs right in on same terminals fuse link occupied,easy,quick,readily available compared to replacement fuselinks.( You can make you own replacements)

thanks GSLSEforme. i already did the swap to using a fusebox (i think mine came from a mazda 626 as that's what i found in the pull-a-part at the time i was looking) but it's just easier to explain using the fusible link since i was referencing the FSM.
