fusible links off the battery terminal (two whiteish wires)??? running lights could have burnt out the dimer switch ...

just thedash lights, like the check engine lights and oil lightsbut not the lights that turn on when you turn your running lights on, the radio and room lamp work.

where is the fusible link? and there was a little black wire that was broken off that bolts on to the block of the engine, it looks like it plugged into a tiny capacitor, behind the exhaust manifold.

Well if you READ my post there should be two whiteish wires off the battery terminal that run downward... Those are the fusible links ...

the white wires are the fuse , thats why they are called fusible links ... they open up ... you'll need a voltmeter or an ohmmeter to test them ... check for voltage at the opposite ends of them Or remove the battery terminals and check for continuity ...

does it show where they open up or does it just happen inside the wire, because i pulled the wire wrap all off and i didnt see anything wrong with the wire.
