1966 Mustang GT Hipo electrical dilema

jack1946 · 04-23-2009, 12:20 AM

Hi Guys,
While charging the battery, something happened and I lost the entire electrical system. All the fuses are OK but I expected that. I have nothing. No starter, lights or gauges. From what I recall, there is a fuseble link somewhere around the starter relay, the one next to the battery, possibly that can be spliced and re- soldered, but I cannot find anything that remotly resembles a link. On one side of the relay is the connection of the positive battery cable with another wire splitting, one going to the alternator and the other going to the lights. On the other terminal is the cable to the starter. For the life of me I can't see a link anywhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jack

Start unwrapping the tape wrap on the main harness that follows the firewall toward the fuse box.It attaches to a rubber block in the wrapping.

you don't solder a new one. you crimp it on.
