Does a 1993 audi 100cs have a fusible link or other saftey feature for the starter?

Most starter cables have a fusible link built into them. If the link has blown there will be no power getting to the starter until you fix the cable. Disconnect the cable from the battery and check for continuity between the cable post and the starter cable attaching point...no continuity fusible link is blown.

CS = Crankshaft
Gen = Alternator
G = Guide pulley
T = Tensioner pulley
AC = Air Conditioning
PAS = Power Assisted Steering

fusible links come off of the starter on GM cars, and I would imagine they are the same on the Ford.

Usually, in my experience, the fusible link is close to the starter and controls things like the cooling fan. It's another circuit protection feature.

Actually, if you have a 1990 Ford Thunderbird that won't start, I would look for fuel and spark to start.

CHECK YOUR IGNITION SWITCH UNDER STERRING COLUMN LARGE PURPLE WIRE WITH TEST LIGHT SHOULD LIGHT UP WHEN IN THE START POSITION, IF NOT CHECK YOUR WIRING FUSEABLE LINKS NEAR BATTERY? USE TEST LIHGT ON S WIRE AT STARTER WHILE TRYING TO START ? POWER MEANS Bad starter GOOD LUCK

On the low side charge outlet, right on the compressor itself

If you have acess to a mutimeter check the batery voltage. Should be around 12.5 volts. also check batery voltage when trying to crank engine. Should drop to 9volts while cranking. If it dose but engine dose not turn over you know power is still going to the starter motor but its just not turning. This could be a bad conection in the starter some where.if voltage dose not drop you know power is not reaching the starter motor. this could be a bad earth to the starter from the baterty somewhere. But also listen for clunking or clicking noices while cranking which would surgest the starter is trying to turn. try this before doing any other diagnostics.hope this helps

yes goes from starter 2 alt

the main fusable links are located at the main post on the starter

check the switch to turn on the air. it might be loose.

I accidentally tossed out my 1993 Audi 100CS radio code
when getting rid of junk in the glovebox.
After changing my headgasket on the motor we reconnected the battery supply & found the radio on SAFE mode.

AUZ1Z7N2020175 is the Radio #

Anyones help to me at [email protected] is appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
