The fusible link cable was introduced on model year -93 as a replacement part to the engine cooling fan (FC) on 850 cars. This is a general description. (Some engine variants and certain markets do not have the components listed below).

Note! Make note of radio code.

Remove:
- battery negative lead
- upper charge air pipe from charge air cooler (CAC) (turbocharger (TC))
- air intake and inlet hose connected to air cleaner (ACL).
- canister purge (CP) valve connector
- canister purge (CP) valve hose
- four screws for engine cooling fan (FC) cover.
- air duct connecting to the control module box.
- connectors for the fan (bend shroud back slightly).
- hoses at intake manifold and the EGR valve (bend shroud back slightly).
- fan shroud spacers
- fan and shroud.
Cover radiator with protective panel 999 5474 RADIATOR PROTECTION 999 5474 Radiator Protection.

Dismantling cable duct





Remove:
- solenoid cover.
- cable duct upper section as far as possible.
Check for damage to cables in the duct. Replace the red ( 5 mm2 ) fusible link cable and repair other damaged cables.

- engine cooling fan (FC) and shroud
- fan shroud spacers
- relay mounting and fan control (FC) connector
- EGR valve vacuum hoses (yellow to EGR valve and white to intake manifold).
- four screws holding engine cooling fan (FC) shroud.
- air duct to control module box.
- canister purge (CP) valve
- hose and connector to canister purge (CP) valve.
- air intake and intake hose to air cleaner (ACL).
- upper charge air pipe on charge air cooler (CAC) (turbocharger (TC))
