80 amp fusible link replacement 98 Taco

Jul 14, 2004 1 Replies

I managed to blow the 80 amp alternator fusible link that is located in the fuse box near the battery. Is this held in by 2 bolts? I have removed the easily accessible one on the aft side but I think there is one on the forward side. I just can't see it. If so, how do you get to it? Any suggestions, insight, links are greatly appreciated.



Thanks


For those of you who may encounter this same problem, I finally figured it out. The fuse housing is split horizontally (approximately). There are several tabs around the perimeter. Pull the top section of the tabs gently away from the body of the housing. Then you can lift the top portion of the fuse box away and have access to the bolt in the front of the housing (i.e. there are two bolts holding the fusible link in.) It can be rather tricky to get the housing separated but have patience and you will succeed. The rear bolt is a 10mm head and the front bolt is 8mm head. If any one has any additional info, please post....now if I can only figure out why my alarm and radio are not working?????? At least the truck runs now and nothing appears damaged......
