ggzilla Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The Fusible Link used by B310 is a modern type. Circuit Breakers are also used by newer cars but they do not replace the FL. The FL protects the while harness, while CBs protect specific circuits. Fusible Links do not wear out, so no worries. 1 Quote Link to comment
angelmanuel Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 don't newer cars use a fusible link that resembles a fuse? 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, they use a "slow blow fuse" which is basically works like a fusible link in a plastic module. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Maxi fuse, slow blow... The factory version your more accustom to seeing... And the stereo version... That said, I use traditional fusible link... Clean and simple ;) 2 Quote Link to comment
