’87 Cutlass Supreme. Big Time Short Out! Need Help!

Eric-Aqua 30 April 2005 20:01:04
 I have an ’87 Cut Supreme with hydraulics and I accidentaly grounded
36amps from the hydraulics batteries to the car and it seemed to have
shorted out out something becuase none of the car’s electronics will
come on. None of the fuses in the panel are blown, I check the one
fusible link I could see coming off of the alternator and it’s good,
not sure if there is another somewhere that may be blown (...know of
any others??). When ya bypass the wires from the battery to the
starter with a set of jumper cables connected to the baterry and teh
terminal on teh starter the car will start. I replaced the one wire
from the battery to the starter but it still doesnt work. Have no
clue why it is wont work? Any suggestions? I have a manual if you
could suggest any diagrams I should look at.

 Do you have access to a multimeter or an ordinary test light? If so you
should start at the battery, move on downstream and methodically determine
where you have voltage and where you do not have it. If you have the GM
service manual you would want to look at the power distribution diagrams to
guide you. Sorry, can't be much more specific.

 That year Olds had fusible links coming off the starter harness.

The two red wires connected to the starter both have fusible links
where they connect to the starter.

BTW, there isn't a fusible link at the alternator.
