fuse wire is torn

Asked by EBC1680 Dec 12, 2019 at 06:53 PM about the 1999 Toyota Corolla LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

On my 1999 Toyota Corolla, one of the wires coming out of the left side fuse
is completely torn. It goes from the fuse to the alternator. Not sure how it has
happened. There is no burn smell or anything.

Question:

a) Do we know what is its significance or what is its used for? Sometimes my
car would just keep clicking and wont start despite having new spark plugs
and new battery.
b) How do I replace this wire?
c) Is there a ready kit available in the auto stores or I need to build on my
own?
d) What wire guage should I be using?

Regards.

I would remove the hard plastic cover and splice the wires. To be reliable you need to solder the connections and use heat shrink tubing to insulate them. Once you are done reinstall the protective sleeve and secure it so that this does not happen again.

The same gauge as what you have now but you may not need any new wire if there is enough slack.
