My car won't start

[formula driver]

Paul, I just snipped the old link out (cut it really close, there isn't a lot of excess wire) and then I use done of those inline fuses that are used in stereo systems. All you do is slide the wire in and then a set screw holds it together. Will make it easier to fix if it ever blows again.

Got ya TJ...thanks bro! Glad this thread got brought up. I was stumped, checked the fuse and it was bad! Your the man bro! Thanks for your help guys....

I know Mocksville. I went to school in Greensboro.

I don't see why you couldn't just cut the link out and solder (really well) a large inline fuse in it's place. You just want to make sure you have a good solid, sturdy, connection.

Mocksville's a real small place, very quiet. Nice place to live but theres not a danm thing to do out here! Thanks for the help man, Im gonna go with TJ's soloution.

how could you tell it was broken? What did it look like?

It obvious when you open up the shrink wrap. It's a flat piece of metal that is... broken.

Drive it around for 30-60 minutes, the ECU has to readjust after not having power.

Most fusible links are like 60 amps . On American cars they have a number on them. An inline 60 amp see through fuse available at any auto parts store will do the exact same job.
The fuse you have in there is way too small.

I'll replace it when it blows. It might be 50amps.
