[Spridgets] Auto Experts: Not LBC but stupid fuseable link needed for my truck..ugh.

[Tom Springer]

Hmm...tell me more. I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier and recently the radio, mirrors, rear defog, and two power terminals went dead...not the fuses. I read the term fuseable link while searching the 'net, but the local dealer had no idea what I was talking about.

I bought it from Lynchburg Nissan as one of the parts guys was making them for years being an owner of a Nissan mini truck too!. He gave me instructions to make them too as they are metric links. I saw a burn on one of my connectors and I'm sure it was because the ac hose lays onto it and presses into the battery terminal being someone clamped a rubber gasket onto the battery terminal. I'll make a few soon so I can get them to those in need being it is somewhat common on these old trucks.
