Hi guys:

I was having a problem with my battery draining sometimes. In looking at everything I could see, the 4 pin connector to the voltage regulator had a fuseable link in the third spot. The wiring diagram in my AIM only shows a 10 R charging wire and doesn't mention anything about a fuseable link. Replacing it seems to have worked but the weather has been really bad so I haven't been able to get the car out to verify it.

Does anyone else have a fuseable link in the third position from the left on the connector to the voltage regulator? BTW I have a 68 396 L78.

Thanks

Mark

yes, there is a fusible link there. That connection is the regulators "voltage sense" wire and it comes straight out of the main splice. The reg doesn't really draw any current there, but a reg failure could meltdown the whole electrical system without that fusible link.

See pics in the "what it is Where it is" sticky in electrical, get fusible links at madelectrical.com

Thanks for the info. Like I said it is working. Just wanted to make sure it is right. As usual you guys on this site come through. :hurray:
