I had a glow plug light failure this past week. happened while I was out with the wife, came out from the building, jumped in the car, turned the key, no light and no start.

cranked for about 40 seconds and finally started.

Checked everything and couldn't find any failures, but I had some flaky digital meter readings, so was quite frustrated by that.

Finally with key in on position, checked voltage across fusible link and it was fluctuating. Placed my positive lead in the middle of the link and it separated. Didn't look blown until I did that.

Has anyone ever tried to buy a fusible link on "Buy Parts" link???? I couldn't find one, so I'm going to the stealership this week. In the meantime, for 2.99 at the parts store I got an 80amp spade fuse, bent the leads, cranked the screws down to hold it in place and car starts after 5 second glow, without even a hiccup.

Worldpac really has a wierd system for their parts.....
