beebeecivic Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 As the title states, i was wondering if a Fusebox can pop fusible links. I have looked at all the wires that are connected to that fusible link and also looked at all wires and connections. I have read the schematics and that particular link leads to the fusebox. please chime in! thanks bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 the fusible links fuse the feeds to the fuse box as well as other items, if you continue to blow links either the short is betweent he link and the fuses int he fuse box, or you have higehr value fuses thant he links and the short is on the other side, also excessive amp draw can blow the link if distributed across a number of fuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to replace it with the correct value and hope it will turn over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still something drawing way too much current, meaning you have a short somewhere. If it's on the circuit with the 30 amp fuse, then you will simply blow the 10 amp fuse. However, that will tell you that the short likely is somewhere on that circuit. And that doesn't mean you should leave the 30 amp fuse in there. You should still replace it with the appropriate amperage fuse or it defeats the purpose of having the fuse there in the first place...

beebeecivic Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 O man.. so i replaced it with the correct fuse and it still blew! this time it blew as soon as i stopped "starting" it .

Nigel Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 We need more information to go further. What year Z is this? Is this something new that just started happening? Did you recently acquire the car, and it's always done this? Does it only happen when trying to start the car? Help us out here...
