I need to find the Fusible link wire for the signals/hazards in my 1986 Dodge Ram D50. Can anyone help me? ?

Question

I was told to look around under the Dash inside and around the steering column. I may have found something but I'm not sure about the wire colours leading to the Link. If possible tell me what colour each wire will look like and what does the link itself look like. Thanks you

Answer 1

whats happen with the signals,there's no fusible link for these that i have ever heard of...there's a flasher can and a fuse in the fuse box...if there's a fusible link burnt .....there will be lots of things not working other than the signals

Answer 2

Dodge loves to create a cluster of fuseable links right behind / beside the battery. Tug on each one, if any are broken or burned out the bad one will stretch under a few pounds of pull. The gauge of the wire will be printed on the fuse link every couple of inches. Get a replacement of the same length. It may be necessary to use a second piece of common wire and a ring terminal to connect the replacement to the positive battery terminal because of Dodge's habit of having them all in a common molded boot at the battery end.  

Answer 3

Look for the wire coming from the under hood fuse box that goes to the turns/hazard lights.    The fusible link is usually a fatter spot within the section of wire.

Use a continuity checker to see if that section of wire has an open or the link has melted and opened.

Also could go to the dealer and buy one for that year make of car and then look for the one on your car that matches it.   The parts guy may be able to see the schematic and show you where it is as well.

Good luck
