Question Re: Electrical confusion

How do I find this fuse link? All my wires are wrapped and I don't know where its located? I've looked on YouTube but all I get is "There Are Fuselinks everywhere"!?

A fusible link on a GM car will likely have a plastic 'cylinder' on it, where it joins the rest of the electrical system. It will be one of the smaller wires, and it will have a different, sort of rubbery insulation on it. If the fusible link blows, chances are this rubber will be bubbly due to excessive heat. Visual inspection is not good enough; you must check continuity. You can do this with your meter set to Ohm scale (the lowest setting) or Diode Check. If you touch one probe to one end of the link and the other probe to the other, you should get 0 ohms, a light or a beep. If you get infinite ohms or some other value, then you can suspect the fusible link.
