Hi All,
I replaced my starter yesterday and also bypassed a fusible link. Starts/runs fine, just no lights at all. All fuses tested good in the left footwell box.
Thoughts?
Thanks

I'm "fishing" but did you actually bypass a fusible link or was it a diode in the charging circuit that may appeared as a fusible link?

I cut out a Fusible link and replaced it with wire.

Odd problem if all the fuses are good.
Recheck your repair.

Fusable links are a good idea. Do your headlight motors work?

HL and other Lights are on different Fusible Link (Link B) then the rest of car. Link A to Starter Sol has most of the rest.

Yup. More removing them is ca good way to have a Car Fire or worse if parked inside whatever.
Fusible links are there to stop the battery dumping 200+ amps in a short circuit.------------------

Thanks everyone for your input. Turns out one of my new splices to one of the small ring terminals was bad. All fixed!
