JDOwen2 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I replaced my radiator last week and upon reassembly the 120A fusible link marked Alt blew. Had to wait until Monday when Lexus opened to get one. That one popped also. I thought my connecting the POS (+) terminal last was the cause. Lexus had to special order another. Picked it up today and reassembled putting the NEG (-) terminal on the battery last and it popped again. I don't have Vol 3 of the Lexus Bibles and am now lost. Anyone have a clue as to what the trouble might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmdtr Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Did you check the power wire on the Alternator? Is the rubber boot there? The wire could be pinched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOwen2 Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 What with the Maytag repairman stopping over (dishwasher), being domestic, (wash clothes and dishes) and my stepson getting a DUI at 4 in the morning, I'll be checking it out later today. That was my next move but I really wasn't near the alternator except to take off the bottom hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLS Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 if you can draw over 120 amps in a mere second, you have one heckuva problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
