Fusible Links


Recommended Posts

does anyone know the value, in Amps, of the 4 fusible links located on the left shock tower under the hood? On the cover, the black link is labeled 1.25 the greens are labeled .5 and the red is labeled .85.

 

the closest subaru dealer is 60 miles away and the local parts store sells a bussman fusible link that plugs right in, but comes in ratings from 30 to 60 amps. I accidentally burnt the black one while working around the alternator.

Car year and model would be helpful.

 

In my 88 XT manual (EA82-engined car) does not specifically give current ratings, but it does give wire cross-sectional area for the links, and current ratings for those areas. Current ratings are different for usage in the engine compartment versus elsewhere on the car:

 

Black: 1.25 sq-mm = 10A or 21A ("engine-wiring" or "other location")

 

Green: 0.5 sq-mm = 6A or 12A

 

Red: 0.85 sq-mm = 8A or 16A
