I faced off against the Fiero’s electrical system this past weekend. Ever since the fusible links blew and it was taken to a mechanic there had been problems with the internal lighting, headlights, radio and starter all failing to work on occasion.<\/p>\n
After a bit of research, I tracked down the single point of failure for all of the above to a single point near the starter where everything daisy chained off of each other.

Several days have gone by and not even a single hiccup in the electrical system, so I’m considering this a minor success.<\/p>\n
