60-Amp Fusible Link
60-AMP FUSIBLE LINK
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
TESTING THE 60-AMP FUSIBLE LINK
See Test Procedure 22 – 60-Amp Fusible Link on page 12-30.
The fusible link is a short length of special, high temperature insulated wire and should not be confused with standard
wire. It is part of the wire assembly that runs from the alternator to the starter solenoid and is several wire gauges
smaller than the circuit which it protects. Under no circumstances should a fusible link replacement repair be made
using a length of standard wire. If the fusible link is blown, determine the cause of the open fusible link before
replacing it.
60-AMP FUSIBLE LINK REMOVAL
1.
Disconnect battery. See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline/Diesel Vehicles, Section 1, Page 1-3.
2.
Move the terminal cover (2) and remove the nut (3) that secures the fusible link wire assembly (1) to the alternator
(Figure 14-5, Page 14-4).

3.
Cut the wire ties necessary to free the nearly 6 inches (150 mm) of fusible link wire assembly (1) that runs
through the harness.
4.
Remove the nut and lock washer that secures the red wires to the starter solenoid and pull the fusible link wire
assembly (1) from vehicle and discard.
60-AMP FUSIBLE LINK INSTALLATION
1.
Attach the red end of the fusible link wire assembly (1) to the starter solenoid, along with the other red wires
removed, and secure with lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut to 90 in-lb (10.3 N·m).
2.
Attach the other end of the fusible link wire assembly (1) to the alternator and secure with nut (3) (Figure 14-5,
Page 14-4). Tighten the nut to 84 in-lb (9.5 N·m) and move the terminal cover (2) over the connection.
