The mechanic gave it a once-over and said there was no reason for there to be a fusible link there but he'd take a closer look at it and give me a call. He called 1/2 an hour later and said he'd fixed it up. It looks like he just cut the fusible link portion off and put a new connector on the end. I questioned the lack of a fusible link there and he said that he didn't see why I'd need one. I told him that I had heard contrary info, but he was adament that a fusible link wasn't needed there. I can't remember his explanation word-for-word but he said that the wire was power coming straight from the alt and powering the accessories and charging the battery via the "power distribution box". He said that wire could in fact just run straight to the battery, but in this application obviously doesn't. He ran the a/c on max for quite some time without any issues and he also verified that the alternator was doing it's job just fine. I have to admit that from the info you guys have provided, I'm a little uneasy with the "repair", but everything seems to be working fine... Not really sure where to go or what to think from here.</blockquote>
