I am not sure I understand the real need for a fusible link where there was none. It does add a minor amount of resistance, and I thought there are reports of links opening with unpleasant results. There are a lot of cars that don't have this extra "safety" measure. I would think a true battery cutoff switch manual would be less headache and better in any full blown meltdown scenario. twocents
