[V8] Weird burnt thing

[gbmarc at cox.net]

Tony,

Are you saying that the fusible link is on the +ve side of the Fan motor?
I thought that the fusible link was in between the fan and ground.

And there's a +ve jump start terminal in the engine bay somewhere?
That's news to me.  I've always pulled the back seat out.

Next you'll be telling me there's an automatic oil leak fix module!!   :)

Mark.
