Someone tell me what this is:

always use a fused jumper wire
If you want to know: http://www.beckerelectronics.com/BMW...ightreset.html

I need to connect to 'holes' with this wire.

They must be talking about what we call a "fuse link". It's just a piece of wire that's designed to burn in two if the current passing thru it exceeds a certian value (like a normal fuse would). That way if there is a short or current overload condition, your other circuitry hopefully doesn't get damaged.

EDIT: you may be able to pick some up at RADAR SHACK. You could also just buy an inline fuse holder and a pack of fuses to connect between the two points long enough to reset the circuit.

A lot of times in auto work for testing etc. they mean a length of wire with an actual fuse in a holder in the middle. Most parts houses carry them
