wtb: fusible link svx
My fusible link has burned out. The dealer does not carry any replacements. Does anybody here know where I could buy one. Or can give me some detail on how to make my own replacement? Thanks.

I am thinking that we could use a bigger picture here... I cant quite make out what it is you need!
Just get the proper guage wire and connectors at a stereo/auto store... if you take it with you they should help you readily.

The fusible links have color-coded insulation on the wires-- looks like yours is green. The links are the same for most or all Subarus from about 1985 to 1994 or so, jut go to a wrecking yard and pull one the same color off an old GL or Loyale.

you need to replace a fuseablink with a fuseable link. go to a good car parts store like carquest and you can buy fusablelink wire in rolls like all other types of wire. the size of fuseablelink guage that you use is 4x smaller than the wire that it connects. as an example for a 10 guage wire you would use a 14guage fuseable link. its also important that you get it as close to the same length as the original as possible. fuseablelinks are a slow burning fuse where as your fuses in your fuse panel are a fast burn type. thats why the length is important. to long and it wont burn up in time and will damage whatever it is supposed to protect.

before you just go replacing it, you need to find out what caused it. Remember, there is a short somewhere(unless you have hooked up the battery backwards..)

Thanks all for the advice. I believe I know where the short is. No thanks to the rodent that got under my hood and chewed up some wires . I am gonna re-check my cables with the meter and the light tester, before I throw in a new fusible link.
Hocrest- I greatly appreciate your offer. If the fusible link that my brother has for me doesn't work out I will send you PM.

ok when i did a fuseable link on a subaru i remember that i was able to make a new one using fuseable link wire avalable at any parts store, but i had problems with the spade connectors at the end of it because they are a metric size (being jap and all) and all napa had was standard sizes (being retarted and all) so i had to pry the spade connector off and reuse it... but it worked
for the wire figure out what the amperage of the link is suppose to be and follow what you read on the package for the rating of what your buying
