Electrical Help
No power to fuse panel? How does fuse panel get power?, from one large wire? Are there any fuses from battery to fuse panel? I could not find any fusable links on larger wires. I have traced every where I can so far with no luck. I have power to alternator and starter.
Books? Sources for help, gasoline, match..... Dang I am tired at looking.
Thanks

At the battery terminal on the starter- there are 2 wires that hook on the same post as the cable. THey LOOK like 10ga wire, but are actually fusible links. One or both have burned. Take a test light and go to the alternator output. If it lights up, go to the heater Hi blow relay see if it lights up there. go to the starter, see if it lights up on the cable, Pull on those two wires about 6-8 inches away from the starter. I'll bet one or both will pull easily apart.

I wanted to verify wiring on starter before I do something stupid
