Fusible link help

[nutt7]

So my 89 350 tbi suburban suddenly died while cruising down the road...all power is gone except the headlights/interior lights (maybe more, this is all I noticed). There was absolutely no issues leading up to this event. I believe it is a fusible link.

Since my burb is stuck in the target parking lot and it has been 115 degrees this week, I would like to know exactly which link may be my culprit (if it is a fusible link at all) so I can get in and out without losing a gallon of sweat probing a bunch of wires. I know of 3 linkson my burb: one off the starter, one on the drivers side firewall (replaced 5 years ago), and one off the alternator.

Which fusible link takes care of all power minus the headlights circuit?

Also, anyone know what size/type to get from the auto parts store? The last one I bought I just cut off a jy truck, but I would rather have a new one.

Thanks

I wish I could help you, good luck.

BUMP to the top.

Pretty sure if you connect the output stud on the alternator to the distribution block at the firewall, your stuff will run right again. There is a fusible link in the factory wire that connects the two. I'm not sure where else the vehicle gets it's power.

It gets 12v constant into the cab, it doesn't get ACC power. If you are interested in my most recent findings, see this thread.
