CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Fusible link wire assemblies are available through Saturn Service Parts. Repair the fusible link by replacing the entire fusible link assembly from generator to the starter.
