Anyone have experience with a fusible link to the starter motor?

[Salviati]

Mines blown on a 95 dodge neon, and from what I've read, it seems like a pretty easy fix to do oneself, and just curious if anyone her has experience with it...

1. Not for sure about autos

usually if a fusible link blows or opens you have a bigger problem.
Most likely the starter motor winding may be shorted.

2. That may be true...

I'd like to be able to get it started though, so I can at least drive it to the garage...

3. so splice in a new link, you'll need a crimp tool

or buy a new cable, disconnect the battery before any of this, If it blows again you'll need a starter, if this is beyond you , tow it to the shop
