This is the 4th time I’ve replaced the fusable link in this damn car, and now it STILL won’t start. I can push start it again, and my battery doesn’t drain in 45 minutes, but yeah, this sucks. Maybe now I can test the immobilizer ecu and hopefully bypass the damn thing. I just want a hidden kill switch instead, then maybe I could focus on getting the ac compressor and intercooler fan fixed instead. But noooooooooooooooo now I have to probably push start it, drive it 4 hours from my parents house where it’s been sitting to my new house and park it in the garage where it will probably sit for a nearly a year again.
Yay
Also, yes that is a second (really 4th) fusebox on the firewall, it runs off 12v ignition and a relay. Powers the heated s2000 seats and backup camera that doesn’t work.

WHY is it killing fusible links?

I’ve had to add a battery switch to mine. It doesn’t drain as fast but even with a new battery it doesn’t last a week sitting.
Have you been able to measure current draw with the key off?

Depends. I pack light either way but there is a small trunk as well and a little bit of space behind the front seats. I’ve actually packed everything I own in an mr2 3 times. I mean it was before I bought things like furniture but hey.

Not as of yet. It’s been sitting at my parents house for about 4 months but I just bought my house and moved back to the states from overseas. Give me some time haha

Grounded itself out after rubbing through the insulation on the battery tie down.

Interesting. Glad you found it!
Is that what was killing the previous ones, too?

Nope, it has been a different problem every time. Now every time I have a problem I’m just going to make a new one and slap it in there to see if it fixes it.
