As some of you might now, I've been having trouble blowing my fusible link on my car.
[IMG]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff87/swiftwood/BayStateCorvetteClub/members/Brian%20Cunningham/repairs/FUSIBLELINK.jpg[/IMG] Right next to the battery, remember reading about mysterious C4 fires. A while back my driver's side headlight stopped working. I bought headlight motors, and a controller, as well as the window regulator off a forum member who was turning his car into a track car. When I went to change them out I found this little surprize! [IMG]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff87/swiftwood/BayStateCorvetteClub/members/Brian%20Cunningham/repairs/headlight_wire.jpg[/IMG] This is right where the wire feeds though the headlight bucket framework. Seems it managed to chafe through. Seems if you have a short in the system, the controller keeps feeding it POWER and will fry the fusible link trying to get the motor to spin! So, if you lights stopped working, or your car stopped charging, be sure to check it out. |

Glad you found it! On my headlights, there is a rubber sleeve covering the wires going into the headlight housing - do you have that?

The part that's not weaved into the frame has it.
But it failed where you would think it was protected. |
