I think I did, I want to say it was a 'trailer option' wire but it was just some variation of yellow or black like the others. Im pretty sure it was with the rear defrost wire like yours though.

Thanks....Originally posted by pantera77 View Post
I wont lie...there are a few butt connectors...only because my soldering gun could not efficiently heat up some of the thicker wires. I could have used the torch for those but the torch would have been too hot and just melted everything. For the amp power wire and the jumper from the solenoid to the fusebox I did use the torch and solder. Those thick wires can handle the heat thrown by the torch.
Thanks Nate..I must say that using flash on my camera really brings out all of the dirtiness. One day I will get around to cleaning the bay, one day....Originally posted by P72Ford View PostWell Dave...

So for the rearward bolt on the washer fluid tank is that a self-tapping bolt? I'm on borrowed time to ask, otherwise I'd dig through this thread myself to see if you answered it before I asked. Sorry if you did- just trying to get the information in a rush; if possible I'd like to get the new tank mounted up Tuesday afternoon so this step of the process can be complete.

Got my entire windshield resealed today as it was leaking for many months already. Guy came to my house pulled the windshield out removed all of the old caulking, sanded rust put por15 over everything then put new urethane on and placed the old glass back in. cost me 85 with tip. Said he usually just reseals by putting new urethane over the old shit. I said hell no and showed him that the glass was just about falling out...and the rest is history.
I also received in the mail my NOS door edge guards...what a waste of money...they are like only 12 inches long..but they are stainless like the rest of the cars trim so I guess it is ok~David~

Looks good. Do you happen to have a fuse link gauge to fuse size chart? I really need to do this on my car, several of my fuse links are melted and replaced with speaker wire.
And you actually use a heat gun? Fancy bastard. I have a lighter.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Thank you Thain...and a heat gun melts the stuff evenlyOriginally posted by gadget73 View Post
This is the website that I used to tell me the capacity of certain size wire gauges: http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
And with the use of the EVTM telling me what size fuse links were attached to what circuits I was then able to determine what size wire they were...and compare it to the chart.
For all I know the way I did everything could be totally ass backwards and hacked...but everything is working...
And I will give an example to help everyone visualize what I did:
The rear defrost fusible link was 16 gauge. That means that the actual wire gauge of the rear defrost power is 12 gauge. Now just look at 12 gauge wire amp capacity and go from there. My chart on that web page above says that the maximum amps a 12 gauge wire can handle is 41...so I just put in a 40 amp maxi fuse. Thats all I did.~David~

I'd have probably matched the fuse size to the fuse link size, figuring thats what the idea behind the smaller gauge wire was. I also tend to fuse circuits for only a bit above normal operating conditions so the fuse will let go as soon as theres a problem.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
