Fusible Link Replacement
CAUTION: Do not replace blown fusible links with a standard wire. Only use fusible type wire with hypalon insulation or damage to the electrical
system could occur. Also make sure correct gauge of wiring is used. Refer to the wiring diagrams for proper gauge and color.
When a fusible link blows it is important to find out what the problem is. They are placed in the electrical system for protection against shorts to ground.
Which can be caused by a component failure or various wiring failures. Do not just replace the fusible link to correct the problem.
When diagnosing a faulty fusible link it is important to check the wire carefully. In some instances the link may be blown and it will not show through
the insulation, the wire should be checked over its entire length for internal breaks.
1. Disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Cut out the blown portion of the fusible link.
3. Strip one inch of insulation from each end of the existing fusible link.
4. Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one side of the fusible link. Make sure the tubing will be long enough to cover and seal the entire repair
area.
5. Cut a replacement piece of fusible link two inches longer than the piece removed.
6. Remove one inch of insulation from each end of the replacement fusible link.
