    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 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.

          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.
