HELP!!! Fusible Link keeps getting fried

I am totally clueless on this one.

My fusible link that runs parallel to the soloid keeps getting fried every time I connect the battery back. I've replaced it a couple of times already but it still keeps getting fried.

Is there something that I missed?

Are you talking about a fuse? a bad cable?

Re: HELP!!! Fusible Link keeps getting fried

look for wires shorted between the starter and the fuse box. most likely melted to the right exhaust manifold.
