Hi all!!!!

Long time so post. I hope everyone is doing well. I have been hiding away working on my tenure stuff. 2.5 weeks to the deadline!! Might get some Montero time after that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Our Gen1 has been quite happy sucking up gas for a while now. I have been really impressed. This week it developed a starting problem. Everything will be fine and then all of a sudden, nothing. No dash lights, nothing to the starter. I cleaned up the batt cable clamps and it fired up. Put my tools away, tried again and nothing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I replaced the batt cable clamps and the batt neg cable with a nice fat 2ga cable. Fired it up multiple times. It sat for a few hours and my daughter took it to a friend's house. Got back in it...nothing! I went and checked the batt clamps, and the main fusible link was not as tight as it could be. Tightened it and the truck fired right up.

Can the main fusible link be in a state where it works inconsistently? May be I am missing something else obvious. I'm not sure if this is related, but the radio goes off when the headlights are turned on <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

All ideas/advice is welcome

Thanks!
