fl327 Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 ok the other day 1978 280z would not start checked everything, finally saw that fusible link wire was severed, rigged it together, everything fine, went to kragen to look for fusible link wire, none to be found, went home and used primary wire 10 guage crimped it and drives ok, but now im reading this article about fuseblock meltdown from erics zpart site, and it really does not apply directly, but there is this one line that reads "fuse block meltdown is sometimes the result of someone using non-fusible wires in their electrical system, causing a meltdown" im scared that im gonna wreck my car something awful, but for now the car runs fine and seems fine, any input on this one guyz??????

1 tuff z Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 go to a car audio install place and ask to purchase or have installed a [comperable] inline fuse [grab the specs from your manual]. this would accomplish your desired task of protecting your circuit and fuse block. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Check out the article that shows how to replace the fusible links with a car audio grade MAXI fuse block. http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/maxifuse.htm I know its for a 77 but you can wing it from there. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
