Is the battery voltage on both sides of the fusible link?
If you clear the codes and the warning comes back lets make sure the fusible links have power on both sides. Here is a guide and the alternator wiring diagrams to help you test and see how the system works. Check the two fusible links in picture they should have battery voltage both sides.
What causes the battery light to come on but not charge the battery?
I was told a blown fusible link will trigger the battery light to come on and will not charge the battery. Based on what you are saying, if one of the fusible links is faulty it will cause the battery light to come on but will continue to charge the battery.
What causes a car battery light to illuminate while driving?
As you know, the alternator is responsible for keeping the battery fully charged as you are driving the vehicle. But if you have a bad alternator, then it won’t be able to keep the battery charged. This will cause the car battery light to illuminate once there is an inconsistency in the charge.
What happens if you leave the fusible link out?
The circuit will work without the fusible link, but leaving it out removes the protection from current overload, which may cause something more expensive to get damaged – better to replace it with the proper link, or a fuse of similar resistance (if you can figure out what that is)
What’s the difference between a fuse and a fusible link?
Fusible links—also spelled fuseable and fusable—serve a similar purpose to a fuse. (You can read more about fuses here.) Just like a fuse, the link is designed to handle a lower current (amp) load than the rest of the system so, in the event of a short or overload, the link will be the first failure point.
Do you need crimp connector for fusible links?
Many fusible links now come with a crimp connector pre-installed, which simplifies the installation process. Remember to weather-proof your connections—cover your joints with heat shrink tubing or tightly wrap your connections with electrical tape. Need a good 101 tutorial on electrical wiring?
