Examples of circuits where the Fusible Link wire will be the most reliable short-circuit protection are; *the main power wire to the dash area, *the alternator-to-battery “charging wire,” *power-up wire to electric radiator fans, and other systems where the amount of current flow is a large amount for long periods of time.
NOTES about Fusible Links Only a serious short will cause a Fusible Link to burn–it disconnects a circuit from power just before the rest of the wiring in a circuit would be damaged. Momentary overloads will not burn out a Fusible Link–such as arcing a wrench between ground and an exposed terminal.

Uh, if you don't tell them, they'll find out and you could be in alot of trouble. Most people will ask you (especially since its been in a wreck) if the title is clean.

The fusible links I have just look like big fuses. So can I check them like I would a normal fuse? I mean, do they pull right out or what? :thinking:

Alright. I mean, I'm in no way a shady person. I just wanted to make sure I go about doing it properly.

I cut the air bags out. The steering wheel is ripped open from where it deployed, as is the cover panel on the driver's side dash. I just tucked the plastic back in where I could so it isn't too obvious since I live in an apartment and I don't feel like getting my car towed. h:

EDIT: I just updated the pics in the classified thread.

The car would be running right now if I could actually do maintenance/repairs to it. But the management where I live likes to regulate that stuff. I don't feel like having to explain the situation to the neighborhood on-patrol officer. So my hands are pretty much tied when it comes to checking it out too much. h:
