pearlm30 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Whats the purpose of the fusible link in the engine fuse compartment? It looks just like a bigger size of eletrical wire. Mine was taped by eletrical tape. I opened it up and found out it was solder together. Not original. I wonder if the previous owner jump start the car wrong or connect the battery poles wrong way. Can someone tell me what cause the fusible link to burn up? BTW... went to the junk yard and got one from 93 legacy Thanks 95 Legacy AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canajun2eh Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Fusible links are very slow blow fuses. They're basically a weak link in the car's wiring system, designed to burn out when the total current drawn exceeds the link's capacity where individual circuit requirements don't exceed their respective fuse capacities. This is better than having the wiring burn out. Fusible links are similar in concept to the main fuses or circuit breakers protecting the input to your fuse/circuit breaker panel in your house.
