When a fusible link blows it is important to find out what the problem is. They are placed in the sys- When diagnosing a faulty fusible link it is impor- tant to check the wire carefully. In some instances (1) Disconnect battery negative cable. existing fusible link. (4) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one side of the fusible link. Make sure the tubing will be (5) Cut a replacement piece of fusible link approx- imately two inches longer than the piece removed. (6) Remove one inch of insulation from each end of the replacement fusible link. (7) Spread the strands of wire apart on each of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1).
