Re: SVX Wont Start .. Dead Silence

Rear window defogger: Fuse 7, 20A, under instrument panel farthest right in top row.

Clock: Fuse 25, 10A, in engine compartment box, 4th one down on left.

If the fuses are definitely good, then we'll have to go farther into circuit wiring to find where the fault is.

It's a special order item, none of the dealerships had it in stock so i'm using this busted fusable link for a couple days ... I hope this thing will hold up and now ruin anything.
Similar wire is not what the fuseable link is made out of. It is made out of material that will come apart when the amperage exceeds 30 amps.

The heat is probably a result of the way you fastened the jumper to the fusable link. An electrical connection that is not fastened well, by it's nature, will heat. It will register a voltage drop across it which will cause heat because of the resistance it develops.

Depending on how you did it, it could not really cause any problem at all... I would replace it for sure sooner rather than later.
