Default 1984 fusible links

Hi friends.

I have the FSMs but, does anyone have any pictures of the fusible links (and their locations) on an '84 C4? Pretty sure I fried one (no power, dash, radio, display, ignition, but I do have courtesy lights and good battery).

On another thread, I read the 84 had fusible links behind the battery, coming off the positive cable, and also a fusible link by the starter.

Any and all pictures would be a great help.

Thanks
Chris & "Zippy"

On the 84 I am pretty sure they are located of the battery connection at the starter, they are Orange in color and may have hard plastic were factory splice and what Amp or Gauge

Cooling Fan relay is a FL @ battery positive cable. The rest of them are from the starter. If you've the FSM then the 8A-11 CELL should help with diagnostics. Paper or .pdf for the FSM?

Thanks; that's good info. I've got printed original copies of the FSM and the electrical supplement. Wondering now how hard it will be to access the starter. If that cable has to be accessed from underneath, I'm gonna need some friends to help push my car up onto the ramps.

Again, anyone have pictures of what I'm searching for? The previous owners modded the car, and not everything is in its original places anymore.

Starter is pretty easy to pull, there isnt much in the way... just heavy.

I have the car in a position where I can quick snap some pictures so I'll get back to you with that, and a scan of the FSM page if you don't have it.

Found the fusible link, as directed, by the starter ... or I should say; what was left of the fusible link. Just CHARED.

Got some FL wire at Autozone. An hour later, Zippy's running again! Thank you guys!

Chris

The evidence.

The repair.
