When do fusible links need to be replaced?
The fusible links should only fail (other than age) if there is a wiring short/failure between them and the fuses in the vehicle.
How do you connect a fusible link to a car?
Check the fusible link. A fusible link is just like any other car fuse, but instead of being plastic, it is a thin wire with a thick insulator. To properly connect a fusible link you need to use a crimp, solder, and shrink-wrap the connection. Soldering Iron that is really good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002…
Can a fusible link handle a fast surge?
A fuse may not handle a fast surge, but the link will. If you’re real anal, carry two fusible link sets. They’re cheap comparatively speaking. Just be sure you fix what took it out before you replace it. Why not run a blade style fusable link?
What kind of fuse holder does a 90 Wrangler use?
A 90 wrangler, an 86 Nissan hardbody pickup and an 86 mercury cougar. Never was able to find a fault on any of those vehicles. The roadside fix was always bypass the link to get me wherever and then I installed an inline fuse holder and a fuse. It was never an easy diagnosis especially on the side of the road and in the woods.
