Fusible Links — General Information (Chevrolet Tahoe 1)

Fusible links are designed to protect the circuit under high current overloads. The cross-section of the link is 4 times smaller than the cross-sectional area of the wire of the protected circuit. Soldered links are installed on cars. Soldered links cannot be repaired. To replace such links, do the following.

• 1) Disconnect the battery from ground.
• 2) Disconnect the jumper connector from the circuit.
• 3) Cut the jumper directly on the connector.
• 4) Remove the insulation from the end of the wire at a distance of about 25 mm.
• 5) Straighten the wire cores, twist them with the jumper and solder the connection with a rosin core solder (see photo).
• 6) Seal the connection securely with tape.
• 7) Connect the battery to ground and check the operation of this section of the circuit.
