Skylar Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Just did a HG reseal on my buddies 1980 wagon with an ea71. Put the motor in & buttoned everything up. Fresh fluids etc. Put the battery in out of my hatchback since he was borrowing a battery that needed returned. And as soon as we put the + terminal on the battery, the plug that would be a fusible link in this case, got red hot, burnt & fried ... Obviously getting too much power from somewhere. Just cant find where ? Any input is appreciated. We will also need a new fusible link plug if anyone has one for an ea71 car. Car is a 1980 2nd gen body style wagon with an ea71 & a 3rd eye setup. I'm assuming ill need a plug from an 80-82 wagon with the same style harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Bump ... pretty sure my buddy had his alternator wires backwards. Anyone got a plug in style fusible link for an ea71 ??? Last thing we need to put this car back on the road !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantum Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 You can buy lengths of 'fuse' wire & make your own, just re-use the old spade bits & solder the wire on ( just make sure to get the correct rating ) ... Cheers, Bantum ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvsarge Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 ^^^ That's what I did. Cost me about 3 or 4 dollars, vs the 28 bucks Subaru wanted for a genuine fusible link (yes, they can still get them, as of May) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
