“95 Gmc Safari/95 chevy astro I have owned 3 of these models since 1995 and have experienced the same problem with all 3 of them. The fusible link connection located behind the battery where power goes into the fuse panel has one connection that overheats, melts the plastic module and creates a circuit problem. Total loss of power while driving has occurred, totally crippling the vehicles. Upon searching salvages for a replacement connector, I found 4 out of 5 had the same overheated, melted plastic, dangerous connection. …”
