    I think they sell it at autozone possibly. I'm not sure. Maybe home depot or something. It happened to me. Make sure you get a heavy gauge, with a strong fuse. A weak one will just blow again.

      I use an 80A AGC fuse in a fuseholder. Any car stereo shop will have them.

          So I could use a 80A AGE fuse instead of the fuseable link?

                No, but I cut the old one out and spliced the wires together just to test. I am still getting no freakin power.

                  You need to check at the terminal under the hood to see if your getting power to there.

                        Well I figured out what it was! It was the ground wire no making good contact to the ground! But, now I have to find a fuseable link. Called the dealer and they dont have them. Is it a 50a agc fuse?

                          how far do you have power to? And how many volts in your battery (and 11 is not over 90%)? Do you have power at the terminal at the front right firewall? If yes do you have it at your fuse/power distribution box? There are no fuseable links between the battery and the junction at the firewall. is your ground strap tight?? You should figure those out first.

                            Well I have power now. I had to sand down the end of the ground wire a bit and wala I got power. I just need to know the amps of the fuseable link so I can replace it.

                              There is a fuseable link in between the battery and junction on the fire wall.
