Major electrical problems

If you grab the two ends of the Link and try to pull the link apart, if it is burned it will usually come apart, tearing the insulation or what's left of it. If it doesn't it will make all kinds of crinkly,creaky,noises, as the insulation and brittle wires flex . If it is good it will be dead quiet and resist every effort to stretch it.
After I was able to get the connector with the fusible link away from the main body of the bulkhead I was able to get the fusible link away from the connector so I could inspect it. Yep, the fusible link is toast. At least now I'm able to check the rest of the engine compartment connections from the connectors and see if anything else burned up.
