do you have any pictures of where the fuseable link is?

[SixFtUnd]

it wasn't a fusable link on mine it was a regular fuse do you have a fuse box up under the hood?

I'll try and get a pic of one one one of my cars if I get the time today


but like stickman said it could be anything

[jfiscus]

so, not turning over at all? Does the radio at least come on when you turn the key to start like usual?
sounds like the starter is bad, try hitting it with a hammer while trying to start it. that may get you home or to somewhere better to work on it.

Not enough info to help you. (Of course, if you swap enough parts, you'll get to it eventually.) Like others have suggested, use a test light and/or a multimeter to see whether you're getting power/ground to the switch, relay, starter, etc. Let us know whether the radio, horn, interior lights work etc.

Good luck.

[fordman00]

haha.no radio.horn doesnt work even when i bought it.but the lights dont come on or anything.

make sure all your cables are good and tight from your battery. if the battery is good and a cable has become disconnected then all thein things you are describing could and would happen

I've had the same type of issue just because a battery cable was slightly loose and then corroded. Had to pull the cables off, clean everything, and put it back together. When I say loose, it's not like you could easily wiggle the cables on the battery but rather you could just barely rotate the clamp.
