Hi,

I'm not sure what fusible link you are referring to. Actually, I don't believe they used a wire-type fusible link on this vehicle other than between the starter motor and alternator.

Let me know what is happening. For example, does the starter engage and the engine fails to start? Or does the starter not respond to turn the engine?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

It’s not any of the above. I have a completely dead switch. Everything in the car turns on but nothing at the key switch. I can take a jumper wire from starter to battery and engine will crank over.

Hi,

Okay, if nothing changes when you turn the key from off to one may indicate a fuse issue or a problem with the body control module.

Check the BCM fuse in the under-hood fuse box. See pic below. When checking it, confirm there is power to and from the fuse.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.
