burnt fusible link fix not worthy of the "sticky but I think it is good.

I had a orange fusible link burn out on me a while back, a couple of wires had rubbed the insulation off and grounded out killing everything on my ignition switch. I just took some convoluted tubing and put it on most of the wiring under the hood then rewired the rest of my links together. Then I put the one that burnt out first into its own fuse block. I don't know if this is how you guys would fix it but here are a few photos if you ever have this problem yourselves.

burnt


fixed with added power distribution point LOOKS MUCH CLEANER DON'T IT?


fuse block (aux tranny cooler fused here too)

Looks like mine. The PO had the same problem and had to splice in new wiring by the looks of it.

Good job.

Some of my wiring is a nightmare too. Some is an understatement, read as most. Been considering replacing some of those fusible links with fuses
