The 1984 Pontiac Fiero's headlight system typically uses a fusible link wire that is 14-gauge. This wire is designed to protect the headlight circuit from overloads by melting and breaking the circuit if excessive current flows. It's important to replace it with the same gauge to ensure proper function and safety. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for the most accurate specifications.
In a 1970 Ford F100 pickup, the fusible link for the gas gauge is typically located near the starter solenoid on the driver's side of the engine compartment. It connects the battery to the vehicle's wiring harness. If the gas gauge isn't functioning, checking this fusible link for continuity is a good first step, as a blown link can disrupt power to the gauge.
The fusible links on my '89 Z24 are located at the starter solenoid where the end of the positive battery cable attaches to the large terminal. There may be a fusible link near the positive battery cable in the 10 gauge wire (not the heavy gauge one). Good luck.
To replace a fusible link on a 2002 Ford E-250, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the fusible link, usually found near the battery or in the engine compartment fuse box, and identify the damaged link. Cut the old fusible link out and splice in a new one of the same gauge using appropriate connectors, then secure everything back in place. Finally, reconnect the battery terminal and test the system to ensure proper functionality.
To repair the fusible link on a 1971 Dodge Dart, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Locate the damaged fusible link, which is typically found near the battery or the starter. Cut out the damaged section and splice in a new fusible link of the same gauge, ensuring the connection is secure and insulated with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the electrical system to ensure proper function.
I believe it's #16.
There are four fusible links connected to a single source wire... It is located right in front of the driver on top of the inner fender liner. A heavy gauge wire runs from the battery terminal, then fans out into four fusible links that in turn connect to 14 gauge or so wires. Just look for four real skinny wires, about four inches long. they are within a foot of the left hand hood hinge.
The fusible link on a Subaru Outback is typically located in the engine compartment, within the fuse box. It is often found near the battery or close to the main fuse panel, identifiable by its larger gauge wiring compared to standard fuses. Consult the owner’s manual for the specific location and identification of the fusible link for your model year, as it may vary.
In a 1993 Ford Aerostar, the fusible link for the headlights is typically located in the engine compartment. It is usually found near the battery, connected to the wiring harness. To identify it, look for a small section of wire that is different in color or size from the surrounding wires, as it may be a thicker gauge wire. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific diagrams and details regarding the electrical system.
A 10 Gage wire will carry 30 amps. But if you are talking 10 Gage fusible link wire then that's different, a fusible link wire is a delayed fuse & will melt if over loaded. The general rule of thumb in the automotive trade is use a fusible link wire 2 Gage smaller then the load wire. If you are using a 10 Gage wire then you should protect the circuit with 14 Gage fusible link. I hope this helps!
About the only thing they have in common is the headlight switch. Have it checked out.
Cut out the damaged fusible link and take it to your local auto parts store. They have all the sizes in stock on a roll. They can match your size and length, simply splice it back in. Be sure to repair the problem the fuse blew in the first place.
