Fusible Link:





REMEDY FOR A DISCHARGED BATTERY
When booster cables are used to start the engine with battery run-down and then half recharged, the engine may misfire or stall. This happens because Antilock Brake System (ABS) consumes a great amount of current for its self-check function. The remedy is to either allow the battery to recharge sufficiently, or to remove the fusible link for ABS circuit, thus disabling the anti-lock braking system. The ABS warning light will illuminate when the fusible link (for ABS) is removed. After the battery has sufficiently charged, install the fusible link (for ABS) and restart the engine; then check the ABS warning light.
