Something like this should be safe enough, it's sealed and designed for vehicle use. Just cut off the fuse part of the existing harness and attach to the cable ends. Allows easy replacement of the fuse for the next time your starter shorts out. You could further protect the thing with electric tape and/or wiring loom.

Where is this fuse located?
So after replacing the starter with a new OE starter and a new battery just in case with 850 cca. I checked the fuse leading from the battery to the starter. It showed it had current going through it. I jumped it off just in case and tge vehicle started. So I took the cable off and looked at the fuse. It had a hairline crack in it. Just enough to have current going through it but not enough to crank the vehicle. Thanks everyone for your help and maybe this will help other people as well.

A crack in a wire is not the same as a crack in a water pipe. No electricity will drain from a crack in a conductor of any kind unless it is shorted to ground, and in that case the symptoms will be VERY noticeable.
