1991 Chevrolet Silverado No Start & Fusible Link Troubleshooting

[@jeremybaer364]

I did the exact same thing with the starter😂 been searching for 2 months now. This has saved my obs. Thanks alot

[@cidtortelli]

Lifesaver video for me and my 88 silverado. The dumb thing I did was not noticing the battery cable resting against the exhaust after I changed the starter. This got me going.

[@James-h8c3y]

From doing batteries on old buses ,I have a scarred wrench,lol we all do

[@199randomhero]

Huge! Thank you for posting this video. My truck has sat for months and I have scratched my head literally exactly the same problem you had. Thank you so much

[@nathan.kostelecky]

Glad to hear it!

[@road2richz_q266]

@@nathan.kostelecky I accidentally put my negative terminal on the last junction block terminal I didn't know it was a hot line and I kept getting spark when connected my battery you think i blew that fusible which cause my engine not to turn over?

[@559Obsalex]

@@road2richz_q266 was it the fusible i did the same thing on accident 😂

[@road2richz_q266]

@@559Obsalex yup lol it was sparking like crazy, I just grounded to my engine block

[@tylermadl2088]

So I arched off something on or next to the alternator. Now it cranks over and I have all my lights no won't get spark. Has fuel no spark. Could I have blown a different fusible link or my coil or something?

[@tylermadl2088]

Turned out I'm dumb. I was installing a aftermarket temp guage (hard line) and apparently the top one next to thermostat goes to ecu. Bottom one goes to guage.

[@mellowrage4892]

Thank you. I may have same problem. Much appreciated.

[@robertcarlos78]

The black wire goes to your battery also?

[@freemanfornow264]

Should've just used a drill bit or rat tail file and opened up the hole in the factory ring terminal

[@lkious]

Pretty much the exact same story for me too but I listened to the wrong know-it-all and put a direct positive line to the s terminal on the solenoid. Zero power anywhere is where I'm at. Mine's a 92 regular cab manual trans. I don't understand - my old starter was wired with a direct, 2 g wire from the positive battery terminal to the starter motor as well as a 10 gauge another terminal for the solenoid. No idea how the heck my fusible links get power because I cannot find 10 gauge wire running from the positive battery terminal to that initial fusible link for your hood light. I have no power no nothing right now after I shorted my battery.

[@jameerchavis6135]

Did you continue to use the disable links or did you do away with them??

[@jorgeguzman372]

When I try. The key on my truck has power but it won't crank i pulled the starter out and checked it with the battery and it cranks but when it's set up in the truck in won't crank

[@rickss1103]

I’ve had this same issue recently did you ever Manage to fix it

[@monchismillan4292]

What was the problem before?? No cranck no start?

[@garrettmalcom515]

Helps the electrons spin!!!! Lol

[@addventure2863]

It's hot which makes it more exciting... 😉

[@jeremybaer364]

Hello, I have a 89 c2500 that I carb swapped for personal reasons. I had power after I got everything hooked up and was about to get it started for the first time. So I went to hook up my battery and is made a connection and then all of my power was lost. No power to the whole truck anywhere. I have replaced the battery alternator starter and main power wire to the starter. I thought it was a fusable like at the junction block under the hood where the black wire with the red stripe is because that is the one running to the battery and I took a spare wire and tried to run it hot to that point and still nothing. Please please please help. Thanks

[@road2richz_q266]

I'm having a issue with my engine won't turn over I get all lights and accessories but no engine turn over what could be my problem

[@DavidGomez-zx4vk]

I have the same problem did u figure it out

[@road2richz_q266]

@@DavidGomez-zx4vk Actually I did found out that I had to run my clutch switch to my key on 12v switch to get key on 12v when I turn the key to on position all I had to do from there was push in my clutch switch and it turned over lol, kinda cool I can use my clutch switch as a push start lol

[@octaviopicazo6727]

Thanks, dude that really help

[@purestench9263]

You can fix that actuator by just shimming something underneath so the actuator engages.

[@RyanLee-e7j]

Where does the negative cable hood to?

[@kadenconover6435]

i have no power at all to anything it just happend randomly do you think this could be the issue battery has 12.6 v

[@kadenconover6435]

terminals are clean

[@xblackdogrunsx]

Thanks for your vid, got my few brain cells rubbing together enough to pick up a multi-meter and find the gremlin. Spoiler alert: did you know water can get INSIDE a wire and corrode away the core?

[@barrygordon1173]

Unplug that door motor no more click click....lol

[@tylermadl2088]

I did the same thing but mine still cranks but won't start up. Mines a 91 v1500 and does not have the same wires. Please help

[@mysticblue3387]

Check the a + b injectors fuse by the driver side

[@robertcarlos78]

What’s the part number on acdelco

[@bobbyvanderhyde6464]

😮

[@timothydodd7412]

Whats the part number?

[@Heinrich99]

ACDelco battery cable 2SD38XG. I'm going to have to get one for my truck as well

[@cang1920]

Would I have the same problem? I slapped a 12v 40amp boost charger onto my battery and I went and cranked it yes idiot. But nothing turns on you turn the key and nothing happens.

[@nathan.kostelecky]

It's definitely worth checking continuity of the power wire if you're getting nothing, no lights, no ignition, etc.

[@code1306]

Where is the fuse box

[@nathan.kostelecky]

Under the steering wheel, on the left.

[@BrandonBurns89]

Did yours crank before the fix? I have power and it'll crank but no start. Replaced fuses, distributor cap and rotor, ignition control module, plugs, plug wires, fuel pump and coil 😓 what black magic or what god or demon do I need to pray to to fix this damn truck!?

[@BrandonBurns89]

All new fuel system from tank to pump to filter to line to injectors. Rebuilt TBI with new gaskets too. I hate how much money I've thrown at this thing but dammit I love this truck.

[@559Obsalex]

@@BrandonBurns89 did u find out the problem

[@559Obsalex]

@@BrandonBurns89 im having the same issue with mine 😢

[@BrandonBurns89]

No luck at all... just put in a whole new distributor assembly and still doing the same crap. Starter fluid does nothing as as well.

[@559Obsalex]

@@BrandonBurns89 i used starting fluid and turns on for about 5 seconds then dies and im not getting no power to injector connectors

[@MarioGalindo-hh3me]

I have a vehicle the same as yours it turns over but the not start

[@tomc9750]

So you made the mistake of not using a correct battery tool. And now you're using it again. Obviously, you didn't learn from it the first time.

[@nathan.kostelecky]

WHEN WILL I LEARN?!
