Is there a way to replace a fusible link?
Replacing a Fusible Link Replacing a link is as straightforward as cutting out the broken link and installing a new one. Many fusible links now come with a crimp connector pre-installed, which simplifies the installation process.
What happens when a fusible link is blown?
When a fusible link does its job, it will break the circuit continuity, which is akin to cutting the wire. That results in cutting off power to the component. We see this a lot in starting systems. A fusible link will blow, and folks will incorrectly diagnose a failed starter motor—turn the ignition key…and nothing will happen.
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?

Why does a fusible link melt during a surge?
These links must transmit high-current electricity, but also protect the rest of the electrical system from dangerous spikes that could cause a fire. If there’s a surge, the link actually melts, as its resistance to heat is lower than that of the circuits it’s protecting.

When does a fusible link fail what happens?
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. When it fails, it will break the continuity in the rest of the circuit, preventing damage to other components down the line.
