FUSIBLE LINKS
In addition to circuit breakers and fuses,
the wiring harness incorporates fusible
links to protect the wiring. Links are used rather than a fuse, in wiring circuits
that are not normally fused, such as th e ignition circuit. The fusible links are
color coded red in the charging and load circuits to match the color coding of
the circuits they protect. Each link is four gauges smaller than the cable it
protects, and is marked on the insulation with the gauge size because the
insulation makes it appear heavier than it really is. The engine compartment
wiring harness has several fusible links. The same size wire with a special
Hypalon insulation must be used w hen replacing a fusible link.
For more details, see the information on fusible links at the beginning of this
section.
The links are located in the following areas:
1. A molded splice at the starter solenoid Bat terminal, a 14 gauge red wire.
2. A 16 gauge red fusible link at the j unction block to protect the unfused
wiring of 12 gauge or larger wire. This link stops at the bulkhead
connector.
3. The alternator warning light and fiel d circuitry is protected by a 20 gauge
red wire fusible link used in the batte ry feed-to-voltage regulator number
3 terminal. The link is installed as a molded splice in the circuit at the
junction block.
4. The ammeter circuit is protected by two 20 gauge fusible links installed
as molded splices in the circuit at t he junction block and battery to starter
circuit.
REPLACEMENT 1. Determine the circuit that is damaged.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Cut the damaged fuse link from the harness and discard it.
4. Identify and procure the proper fuse link and butt connectors.
5. Strip the wire about
1/2 in. (13mm) on each end.
6. Connect the fusible link and crimp the butt connectors making sure that the wires are secure.
7. Solder each connection with resin core solder, and wrap the connections
with plastic electrical tape.
8. Reinstall the wir e in the harness.
9. Connect the negative battery terminal and test the system for proper
operation.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Various circuit breakers are located under the instrument panel. In order to gain
access to these components, it may be ne cessary to first remove the under
dash padding. Most of the circuit breakers are located in the convenience
center or the fuse panel.

BUZZERS, RELAYS, AND FLASHERS
The electrical protection dev
ices are located in the convenience center, which is
a swing down unit located under the inst rument panel. All units are serviced by
plug-in replacements.
TURN SIGNAL FLASHER
The turn signal flasher is located inside th e convenience center. In order to gain
access to the turn signal flasher, it ma y be necessary to first remove the under
dash padding.
HAZARD FLASHER
The hazard flasher is located inside the convenience center. In order to gain
access to the turn signal flasher, it ma y be necessary to first remove the under
dash padding.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

The following wiring diagrams are provi
ded to help troubleshoot electrical
problems and as a an additi onal source to help understand the complex wiring
utilized by these vehicles. No attempt has been made to illustrate most
components as they physica lly appear, instead, represent ations are used to
simplify the diagram. When working on a system, locate the component and use
the wire color codes to help trace the circuit.
