Need help with fusable link
I just got a call from a friend with a 91 coupe asking if I knew where the "711" fusable link went. He said he hasn't noticed anything not working. I'm guessing he was tinkering and found it blown. I referred him to this forum so hopefully he'll join. The only experience I have with the links is the one for the fan. My 89's front fan motor seized and took out the fusable link. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I know the details are slim so I'll take any advice. TIA :flag :seeya

I guess I need to clarify this question. I know where the links are, I need to know what system(s) this particular link is for.

One of them is for the fuel pump circuit. I just changed mine yesterday. If this one is blown, the car will not run. Probably not much help, but narrows it down a little. Good luck.

Re: Need help with fusable link (Skydiver)
Skydiver - Thanks. The car is running and he claims both fans are running so I'm at a loss as to what caused the link to fuse.

My 87 has 8 fusible links. I don't know how many a 91 has, but with one blown, something/s are not going to work. Keep your senses tuned in for the possibility.
