fusable link inside engine bay.
I hooked up my stereo not to long ago. great wahoo all the cheers....
and ive been doing good with it. turns on battery grounded out everything.
but im having trouble like something is shorted out. well trying too anywase.
i can run my radio fine. then it has it times it drains the battery dead.
then my fusable link starts smoking. in the engine bay. anybody know what size fuses I should be using also. its 3 fuses inside the engine bay by the coils.
well. It drained the battery dead tonight and I went to turn it over.
dead...
next thing I know the fusable link is smoking. the wires are getting hot.
So I take the key out. rip the wires out, and havent touched it anymore.
So im wondering if that would be it shorting something.
and also what fuses should I be using.

I just did this upgrade using modern fusible links. Here's another thread about it that I used for instructions. It was spot on.

Went to Advance Auto parts. The fusble links are $2.77 each. Got 2 30 amp and 1 60 amp. Also got spares. It took about 37 seconds per link to change out (this includes tearing into the packaging)! It was so incredibly easy. Everything works great!

well I got the 3 fuses from autozone. 30 45 and a 30.
redid all the wiring on the stereo.
ran new speaker wire from the rear of the car on each side.
it works great now. only problem im having is the lights lol.
everytime I turn my stereo up really high. my lights will dim a tiny tiny bit and dim with the stereo beat.
only the inside lights.
thx for the info on the fuses. my windows work 20x faster now and everything else.
I dunno what that has to do with the wire but everything is more powerful.
I guess the wire was limited usage.

The fusible links weren't your problem. Your rewiring job is what fixed your problem.
Be aware that the fusible links are designed with a specific current rating to protect the more expensive parts of the electrical system. Everyone doing the link mod is guessing at what the current rating should be, potentially risking the other parts of the system.
