Guest jaimesix Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I do not understand why, but all the Datsun books I have avoid telling the fusible link's specs. I got a used one of a junk car. If you want to make your own, best bet iss to call the dealer and asking them. Talk to parts and ask them, they can check in their micro files.

mklotz70 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 You can buy fusible links at most auto parts stores. The size is based on wire gauge. They are designed more to protect from the long, slow load than instaneous loads. When you buy a new pos batt cable.....if you get one with the small wire connected to the main term with the big wire......the little one is a fusible link. This ought to help some :) http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/fusible-link.shtml Quote Link to comment
