Fusable link ??????
I have a '00 E-450 and on the way to work this morning the truck completely shut off. No power anywhere. Found the fuseable link by the starter relay burned up. Replaced and this one burned up also.......Any Ideas on what would short this out? Or what to look for? Where to start?...........Thanks

Could it be at all possibble that the alt regulator went bad and it is giving it too much power? Alt was replaced a week ago also and new batteries

Fuel heater has a 30A fuse in the box somewhere, Air Intake heater maybe? I'm leaning more towards alternator shorted out. Did the second link blow instantly or after turning the key?
