Want this question answered?
Some 1990s had a fusible link. I am not aware of any with a fuse. The fusible link is between the alternator and the battery, connected with heavy wire. Kind of easy to miss. http://www.marksatterfield.com
Connected to the solenoid. It is the single chord connected to the bottom terminal of the solenoid and is connected to the chord coming from the alternator. A blown fusible link will cause typical bad alternator symptoms and not allow the battery to be charged by the alternator.
IF the fusible link has "fused" [opened up, melted apart] it will not keep the alternator from working, BUT it will prevent the battery from receiving the charge.
The fusible link is located on the positive battery cable for a Ford f-150. There should be a little box around the cable with the words "fusible link" on it.
There is not a fusible link between the alternator and starter. There is a regulator on the alternator. The starter is directly connected to the battery, as is the alternator.
It's located on the end if the main power wire coming off the alternator. This wire connects to the starter. The fusible link is located on the starter end of the wire.
Ford's fusible links are usually connected to the battery side of the starter solenoid.
14 AWG Fusible link wire, available at any good automotive parts store.
Near the battery or on the back of the alternator
The only fusible link is for the alternator. It is at the positive battery cable.
Ford's fusible links are usually connected to the battery side of the starter solenoid.
Could have a blown fusible link in the charging system. Start with attaching a volt meter to the battery. If the battery is fully charged it should read 12.68 volts (engine off). With engine running, 14.2 volts.
