Re: Total shutdown with elect power suging and fried fusible link

Harvey,

As per your previous suggestions:

1. Tried unhooking the fuel pump relay (both relays, not sure which is the fuel pump) under the dash attached to the steering column which still popped fuse 16 when ignition switched to ON position. So no joy there.

2. All fuses out of underhood box. Replaced one at a time until interior ignition fuse #16 popped.

It appears that SBF #4 slow blow fuse #4 is the circuit the fault is on. The SBF's themselves are not blown.

Also to mention that the car will crank even though fuse 16 is blown. All accessories still work. Wipers, climate, radio, windows, hazards, etc.

The quick connect to the alt voltage regulator has two wires that both look like they had gotten pretty hot.

Hope this info helps to narrow things down.

Thanks,
