i didn't think our rx7's had fusable links. i've never seen one on mine. never heard of one before on the 7's i know some honda's hav ethen but never seen on e for a mazda. but it definetly sounds like the main fuse. i hooked my battery up backwards once and same thing happened. positive the main fuse is blown.
