Help! 1986 Fusible Link Question Near Battery

[chris123]

On my 1986 convertible 4+3, do any of the aftermarket places make the connector with the fusible link as pictured below? Coming off the positive battery cable are 2 other red wires, 1 goes behind the battery to a fuse block/tower, and the other goes to a big black connector that has 2 orange wires that lead to a connector down below the master cylinder; my coolant fan wasn't working, and I traced it to one of the broken orange wires; I can purchase a generic fusible link, but I need one that has the connector as pictured below; I have it temporarily fixed, but as you can see, I certainly don't want to leave it like that; any help on securing a new one is appreciated....

No,Actually you will have to make one up!

Fusible link comes in several gauges and you can get the metal connector pins for the plug at most auto parts stores!

I have to make them up from time to time on C3's and early C4's.
There are several Fusible links on your vehicle around and below the battery,(5-10 depending options) in the 92 up models they went to Maxi Fuse blocks!

Junk: Thanks for the info; I'm gonna try and see if I can find one of the connectors at our local auto parts store; the fusible links are not that big of a deal, however it may take a little more effort to find one, or repair that connector; appreciate your input........

Regards, Chris

Junk: I actually found the connector I was looking for at Pep Boys; Dorman brand, part #: 85390, for $14.99; now I just have to wire in a couple of fused connections and I'll be all set; thanks for the reply and info.........
