Does any one know what the fusible link looks like in the engine harness just after the starter positive, and where it is? Thought my battery was disconected when I took out my starter and "Bizzzit" it wasn't. I was using one of those green ****** disconects. Now I have no power after my starter on my 72.

Thanks

You have to cut back the tape around the harness by the starter, the link has round rubber barrels on both ends of the splice.

The fusible link should be only a few inches from the + starter post. It looks like a rubber cylinder on the wire about 1”x3/8”. They are not hard to find. To fix I think you have to cut it out and then put an inline fuse in.

Auto parts stores sell replacement links, it’s a common item I’ve seen on the shelf at Autozone.

Ok, I found the rubber barrels. There is a copper wound wire under the rubber sleeve, I may have to check voltage because the link looks intact. If it blows would it burn clear through, or under the rubber barrel.

You should be able to pull the link apart if it is burned. Auto parts stores do sell them, and you need to match the corrrect one to the wire size.

On my 72 there is a link near the horn relay as well. I found this one burned, and not the one after the starter.

The repair manual has a good schematic if you happen to have one, I think the Chliton manual has one as well.

Good luck.

Thanks. Im on the road again.

I started a new post becuase I found a wire that does not fit the wire diagram, maybe you guys can tell me what it is, see "C3 wire experts"
