charged battery, no power!

[corewitz]

hey all, i think there might be a short in the wiring somewhere, i have perfect voltage at the battery, brand new terminals, with my test light i can touch around the car and i get a perfect ground, but i have no power what so ever, none to fuses, none to inside, nothing. What are some things to check?

The little (white?) wire coming off of the fuse box. Mine was loose when I put my engine in and I was freaking out thinking my wiring harness was bad, I did something wrong w/ the swap... something major.

Dad wiggled that wire and it turned out to be a bad connection at the terminal. I know with it off, you wont get any power to the interior. :icon_bigg

HTH

Fusible Link

 

[corewitz]

where is the fusible link located?

 

[isnms]

Small wire attached to positive terminal. Runs down under the fuse box.

FL 2.0L - Headlight relay. Main fusible link - Universal Fusible Link 14 gauge at AutoZone

yup mine completly fell outta the crimp...i had no idea what it was and was freaking out....it was that

 

[corewitz]

ah it seems a little stretchy, i might want to sauder that crimp on another part of the wire.

Replace it if necessary. It needs to be a ~3"-4" length of fusible link, not regular wire.
