Title: fuse link info with vid link "how to test"
Post by: jcassity on November 04, 2024, 06:43:49 PM
wanted.............

looking for a reliable resource that clearly states the oem intended ampacity for each color coded fuse link as it pertains to the automitive manuf industry.

example, the dual bn/or leads of the stock 5.0L output on the alternator leads up to a fuse link up to the starter relay stud shared by the battery cable.
what ampacity designation is this particular fuse link even though it could vary,, what is the engineering runway behind the choices of the fuse link wires and thier intended ability to handle variable current demands?

I dont have one infront of me but thought the color chart for the fusible link ratings was in the beginning of the factory EVT and troubleshooting manuals.
