Fzeller Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi I only run my legacy 1998 in summers in Alaska. I take battery out for winter in house. I tried to start and no response. Jumped with another nothing. All indications are battery is fine. Turn key and dim panel but nothing. No click no attempt to start. Fusible link is fine. Any ideas?

Bushwick Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Could be a number of things like rodent damage, fuse, etc.. Only time my went from running to parking in a store parking lot, 15 minutes later no start, was the fusible link in the fuse box in engine compartment failed but was still touching so it's a miracle it didn't manifest earlier. I jumped it to get home. Pop fuse cover to box in engine compartment and check the upside down " U " wire for breaks. I ended up going to parts store and buying a generic fusible link wire. First one (black) was too thin apparently and got hot after a couple minutes running. Went back and got grey one instead. I reused the factory spades as they are high quality and might even be stainless. Used a pick to reopen the crimps then soldered it for extra measure. Year later and it hasn't hardened nor gotten hot. Very important to re-check periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
