I own a '82 T/A and I recently replaced my battery due to it not starting. When I did that, I believe that the starter wire was fried and now it won't turn over. Here's a picture of the wire in question.

There is also a picture of 2 yellow things on the wires, could you possibly tell me what they are and how they can be replaced?

These were connected to the starter solenoid. But again I want to be sure. Can anyone confirm where they are connected to and tell me how to replace them?

Thank you for your continuing help.

The yellow things are fusible link connectors I believe.

 

Need to cut them off and splice in new ones. They are connected on the starter.
Those are the main power feed lines to your car. they are there to protect the car from burning up should you have an electrical problem. They are only a couple $ from any parts store and have the ring terminal and crimp connector already on them.
Do not jump them out with std wire.

 

the fusible link may not be listed by make and model but might be generic. So you have to get the correct gauge and length wire for your application. Last year I needed one for my Ford van and was unable to find one at Pep Boys , Autozone or Cragen. I finally found a 20' roll of fusible link wire at CarQuest and made my own. As mentioned above, the link is there to burn out before the rest of your wiring does. So if your link fried you probably have a short somewhere and unless you fix it your new link will also fry.

 

 

Thank you guys for all of your input it has been a big help.

I haven't been able to find any fusible links yet but i'll keep looking. If I do have to make my own though, can anyone tell me how that is done. I want to be sure I can do the job right the first time and not have to come back and fix it later.

 

I've seen it at C.A.P. and Autozone.
