Help please. Going nuts. I have power at the fusable link (white) but no power at the fuse box. Sometimes it will power and start. If I run a jumper wire from another point on the fuse box to the ignition or white wire input side of the fuse panel everything works. Is there a relay or something between the fusible link and the fuse box? Would it hurt to run new wire from fusble link to input side of fuse panel? Am I looking at this correctly? I have found no wiring diagrams, and following wires is difficult on these cars. Any toughts, ideas or solutions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

The Fusible Links Box could have Rust on the Contacts... Have you Checked that?

 

I had that problem Long years ago on my suboe and I ended Bypassing the Fusible Links.

 

Kind Regards.

Thank you for the reply. I took a test light with the point and checked for power on the output side and I was getting hots. I also bypassed the fusible links. It is hot on the engine compartment side. It is like a intermittent break but mostly dead. Is there a plug in connector that is loose I have not seen? Thanks again.

Since you have power on both sides of the fusible link, my guess is the fix will be found on the back side of the fuse panel.

I have heard of bad connections on the bottom side of the fusible link box so I suggest you check that out.

Hi. Thank you for the ideas. All that you mentioned checks out. The wire feeding the fuse panel is dead. About 8 inches from the fuse panel is a one wire to 2 wire factory splice to feed the panel. A this junction to after the fusible link I am thinking of just running a new wire. This should fix it. I just was not sure what was between fusible link and the wire feeding the fuse panel. Thanks again

Hopefully you have a test light probe at least to check the power with. If you don't have one I suggest you purchase one as they are very helpful in checking these kind of troubles.

 

The connection fault is most likely at the splice connection. Using a tester to check the splice connection would confirm that.

Thanks for the input. I ran new number 10awg wire from the fusable link to the ignition and fuse panel. Seems to work. I think the connection was bad in the harness where it spliced from ignition to the fuse box. I am now going to deal with its tick of death. Thanks again.

 

P.S. sorry to hear about 2.7 turbos car.
