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.
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 amp rating for a 10 gauge fuse link can vary depending on the manufacturer and application. However, typically, a 10 gauge fuse link is rated for currents up to 30-40 amps. It is important to check the specific rating provided by the manufacturer to ensure safe and proper usage.
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.
I had that same issue with my 85 fifth ave. Just fix your electrical problem. If the car is a 1982-89 it's easy. It's a blown fusible link right near the positive battery terminal. (This most likely applies to the 90s models, but I'm not as familiar with those.)There are three leeds at the positive terminal; one to the starter, one to the headlights/interior lights (85s have a white connector on it), and the last one powers everything else (85s have a black connector followed by a single fusible link then a fusible link bunch). When the first fusible link on that last leed goes bad you will still have interior lights, the door chime, and all front running lights and headlights, but nothing else. Disconnect both terminals on the battery, negative first. Cut out the fusible link, about two inchs after the black connector and one inch after the inline connector. (Note that the black connector separates, but the inline connector is solid. These inline connectors follow all fusible links.) Replace that gap with fusible link wire in the same gauge as the fusible link (the color of the wire tells you the gauge, orange=20ga. on the 85). Soder the connections if you can, then cover them with electrical tape. Once the fuse is replaced, the ignition system will be functional again. For a chart of fusible link color codes it is best to refer to a manual such as Haynes.
For dimming your gauge lighting ? In your dash , just to the right of your headlight switch
you either have a diying battery or a ground short
It is in the headlight switch. If you take out your gauge bezel it's right there on top of switch..
Because it follows the french gauge system.
Check the following items before headlight aim inspection: § Be sure that the body around the headlight is not deformed. § Park the vehicle on a level spot. § The driver gets into the driver's seat and puts the vehicle in a state ready for driving (with a full tank). § Bounce the vehicle several times. Adjust the headlight in vertical alignment: § Using adjusting screw, adjustment the headlight aim to within the specifications. § Make sure the gauge bubble is within the acceptable range. Note: If the gauge bubble is outside the acceptable range, check that the vehicle is parked on a level spot. Readjust the headlight aim after parking the vehicle on a level spot Adjust the headlight in horizontal alignment: § Using adjusting screw, adjust the headlight aim to within the specifications. § Using adjusting nut, adjust the "0" back to the mark.
