fuse holder ?

While replacing some of the rotted vacuum lines on my '86 Suburban C20 350ci engine, I noticed a fuse holder on the firewall that fell apart and fuse gone. I am wondering what this supplies power to and what size the fuse was. The wires are pretty heavy (maybe #12 wire) so I assume it must be important. I am attempting to put a pic !

Trailer plug. The attached wire should be blue and if you follow the wire it will go to the frame rail or be bundled up close by,

Just came in from under the truck (got rust in my eye) and saw that the wire goes into a tube that goes to the rear of the truck. Thanks for the reply ! What size fuse do I need when I replace the fuse holder ?

If the fuse holder still works--20a -----When they get this old they usually deteriorate to where they just fall apart. You can splice in a spade style fuse holder if needed.
