I found this posted and thought it might be interesting
I think Id start by
buying a shop manual if you don,t own one

then by pulling trouble codes and verifying the starter is correctly wired,
if it is Id start with testing the battery under load, and if required,
swapping to a new battery and possibly a new
gear reduction starter and remote solenoid
if the battery and alternator test ok, both at idle and under load,
and your melting fuse links regularly,
and your battery cables, pos/neg are new and recently replaced,
your starter is obviously drawing excessive amps at times
if anyone else cares to chip in info here please do so
ID suggest you add a separate electrical ground strap
from the engine too the cars frame also

i. I'm curious if anyone else has this problem and what they did to fix I. On the starter solenoid their are two fusible links actually 3 one is one wire off the solenoid and splits to two fusible links and then there is a single fusible link. I unwrapped the wire harness and chased the lines down to their connection . The single fusible link is my problem. Running from the solenoid to the alternator. Their is no open spots in wiring or grounded out anywhere. And happens sporadically. No patterns, just whenever it happens. When I'm in-car driving or in idle . My car starts runner Ng horrible and the volts go from 13.8 - 14.1 volts . In 3 to 4 minutes the battery is at 6 volts and the car does. The fusible link melts and breaks and instantly the car's battery drains dead and the car won't do anything but click click click. Replace the fusible link and sometimes it runs again other times the fusible link burns again and again. Tested the alternator and starter both checked out fine. Replaced the battery cables pos. And negative ran me wires to the alternator to solenoid. Still have the problem. Replaced the alternator last night and only to find the alternator is no good , a brand new alternator, no good. Frustrating. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Can't take the car my anywhere otherwise I have to tow it back home. Almost 90 %of the time. What can I do to fix my problem, what is creating it to happen? Need help please. Electrical is not the best part I'm good at on car. Everything's else I can handle very well. Please help me. What to do...
