battery not charging
My car is running at about 11.8 volts when no lights or radio on or anything. I put a new alternator in and new battery, all the connections are solid. The alternator is putting out 14-16 volts but there not getting to the battery. The power return cable also seems to be fine, i replaced the terminals on both ends. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Fusible Links usually look like a one inch plastic rod in line with the wire.

Re: The Missing Link
I plan on replacing the fusible link along with the whole wire because when i took a look at it, along the whole wire the copper strands were charred probably causing resistance. What size inline fuse should i put into the wire though?

Use a 12 AWG fusible link.
