kcpath Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I've been having charging problems...248K on original alt so I replaced it, everything is charging again. However, I noticed out the corner of my eye the fusible links at the bat are smoking. It's not the red/orange ones, there is another set a black and green. Well the black one now gets very hot. how do I trouble shoot this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Replace them, it may well just be that they have been compromised in, oh, 18 years and 248k miles... While you are at it, clean all electrical contacts, meaning battery terminals, ground to the chassis and motor, power to the starter, etc. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, even if age hasn't killed them, if they have smoked they are close to worthless, yet served their purpose. Check that you aren't over drawing through the circuits those run to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
