I have a 1990 LX convertible that I just completed doing a H/C/I swap on. I got everything back together and now when I turn the key to on (but not cranking the engine), the blue 20 ga fusible link that comes from the starter solenoid burns up. It appears to be fine with the 12 volts to it with the key off. I replaced it with a fuse to test and I am getting the same thing, blows the fuse as soon as the key is turned to on. It worked fine about two weeks ago when I turned the key on a few times to prime the fuel lines and check for leaks around the regulator, injectors and fuel rails while I had easy access to them. Since then I have installed the upper intake (GT40 tubular) as well as all of the accessories, MAF, exhaust, etc.
Now it is burning up the fuse link. It must be a pinched wire, but with this information, where should I start to try and trace and find the issue? My wiring harness is in good shape, so I don't really expect an age issue from brittle wires.
I have some wiring diagrams I can use as well, and it looks like when this link burns up it kills power to the EEC relay?
I appreciate any input and advice on the best way to track down this issue.
BTW, I am running an A9P with a Quarterhorse. I do have another working A9P on hand as well.
