gauge wire, Green 14 gauge wire, Yellow 12 gauge wire (used on Police and Taxi) or Blue 20 gauge wire. Figure 5 shows fuse link installations.
When heavy current flows, such as when a booster battery is connected incorrectly or when a short to ground occurs in the wiring harness, the fuse link
burns out and protects the alternator and wiring.
A burned out link may have bare wire ends protruding from the insulation, or it may only have expanded or bubbled insulation with illegible
identification. When it is hard to determine if the link is burned out, perform a continuity test.
Refer to Section 34-30 of the Electrical manual for testing and service procedures for fuse links used in the charging system.
Adjustments
Belt Adjustment
1.
Check the belt tension with Tool 021-00019, T63L- 8620-A or equivalent. (An offset belt tension gauge, Tool 021-00028 is available if required.)
If necessary, the belt should be tensioned as specified at the end of this Section.
2.
If the belt is not within specification, loosen the alternator adjuster bolt and pivot bolt to a snug position. Refer to Section 27-01 Powertrain
manual for drive belt adjustment methods.
3.
Using the procedure described in Section 27-01 of the Powertrain manual, adjust the belt tension to specification. DO NOT apply force to the
alternator rear housing.
4.
Tighten the adjuster bolt to 33-54 N-m (24-40 ft. lbs.) and the pivot bolt to 55-67 N-m (40-50 ft.lbs.).
