Joecar Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Does anybody know where i can buy a new fusable link or used one? It has 3 cables from a black housing connected to the battery post Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 What color is the bad one? Black or Green? You can buy fusible link from auto parts stores or on line. Nissan color code or mm2 specs for fusible link wire... Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 You probably have three links. A Black and Green together and a separate Green. The headlights are the only thing on the separate Green link. If headlights work this one is OK Horn, brake lights, dash, marker lights, tail lights, parking lights, horn, clock, interior lights are on the Black link. Try the horn and brake lights. If they work then this one is also OK The remaining Black link goes only to the ignition switch which sens power to fuses that are switched on with the ignition such as radio, wipers, back up lights, ignition and gauges.

datzenmike Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Just to be sure the '86 was the change to the new D21 Hardbody. You have the 720 correct? This would have the Z24i engine April through October build dates? with throttle body fuel injection. The air filter has two wing nuts holding it on??? The Nissan part number should be 24022-80W01 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Genuine-OE-Nissan-Fusible-Link-24022-80W01/515145597?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101082610 Quote Link to comment
Thomas Perkins Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Check this out,just get a connection like I have on my positive side and connect these wires then your good to go...This is what is on my 85 720,I have a brand new extra one.but going to keep it,just get these fusible link wire's from OReilly's and the copper piece like you see in my picture.The white pieces that are at the end of the wire that they connect to white piece on the fusible link went bad so,I use regular yellow connectors as you see. .https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/lighting---electrical-16777/fuses-16615/fusible-link--universal--17516/12af23bde667/v/a/8242/automotive-truck-1986-nissan-720-pickup Edited April 4, 2022 by Thomas Perkins Quote Link to comment
powderfinger Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 The 86 z24i fusible link is a little different than the standard z24. I think there is one extra wire. Pretty sure one of the connectors on the z24i has three fusible links and the z24 doesn't have a 3 wire connector. Not 100% sure about that though. I'll have to check one of my parts trucks.

datzenmike Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 That's my guess too. They only made the Z24i for 7-8 months. Quote Link to comment
Thomas Perkins Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Here ya go..The extra wire you can use when you are jamming to Pink Floyd and you won't blow the amp... And every day the paper boy brings more .........https://datnissparts.com/fusible-link-datsun-nissan-720-diesel-pickup-truck-sd22-sd25-also-fits-z22-with-mods-24022-36w11/ Edited April 4, 2022 by Thomas Perkins Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Yes they had Z series engines but should be a Z24i EFI engine. Two wingnuts on the air filter. The '86 D21 Hardbody also had the Z24i. Just making sure. Quote Link to comment

Sometimes colors fade, make sure the white isn't yellow or something. As to the fusible links, NEVER use higher rated links. If its 50 amp don't go higher than that. I don't know what white fusible link is rated for. Could it have been replaced already??? If you can find a link that matches buy it. If you search maybe someone had an '86 FSM factory service manual. That would definitely show the fusible link rating. Then go find similar rated fusible link wire and make your own.

Its all original never touched before. And it still has the color so thats good. Red green and black Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Ahhhh I saw 3 white and 1 black connectors and mistook that for the wire color. Yeah red 50 amp, green 40 amp, black 80 amp That's all you need. Replace by color or by their rating. Quote Link to comment
