Fusible link graveyard!!!?!?!? WTF

After a loooooooong peal out a few months ago, a fusible link blew in my car. After having th link replaced (along with my rear pads a new MC) th car returned what appeared to be ok. While driving I noticed the e brake light won't go off. Days later th link blew again, replaced, hours later it's gone again. Got a new alternator after thinking it was over charging, still loosing my link. What's going on!?

No Parking

The parking brake/brake warning light circuit cannot blow a link, therefore is a separate problem.

If your hydraulic brakes are OK, it’s a wire being grounded in the parking brake/brake warning light circuit.

Check for an insulation rub-thru.



Link Think

There are several links in the car, when that particular one blows, which items lose function?


Happy Racing!
