Why is there no fuse at the fusible link?
Ok so the wire from the positive post on the battery to the alternator corroded away. well it happened at the fusible link. i replaced the whole wire with a new 6ga. wire from the battery to the alternator. There is now no fuse there. is this a problem?
Where are the fusible links on a GM Truck?
For what it’s worth, GM uses 5.0 mm sq. fusible links on their factory auxiliary battery option for the charging wire. Two, actually. One between the battery and the relay, and the other between the relay and the starter. In additon, GM has a 40 amp Mega fuse protecting the loads from the Auxiliary battery.
What kind of wire is protected by a fusible link?
For example, a 14-gauge wire would be protected by an 18-gauge fusible link; an 8-gauge wire would be protected by a 12-gauge link, etc. Odd number wire gauge sizes like 19, 15, 13, and 11 are counted when sizing a link.
What do fusible links look like in Pico?
Pico makes fusible links and is nice enough to give each one a plastic tab with the wire gauge and “fusible” written plainly to see. (Image/Summit Racing) Well, that’s the fun part. They look like wires, which can make troubleshooting a headache—we’ll get to that in a second.
