    Can you post a photo? You're not talking about something in the long white fusible link assembly?

    Oh now you're onto something. Maybe someone jumped started this car, accidentally reverse polarity the battery connection (if you did it in the rear, it could happen because of the tight space). That will blow the fusible link and the car won't start
