- I've got an '88 5.0 Mustang and have tried to obtain the codes through the
- "Check Engine" light, but to no success. I patched the proper wires, but
- when I turn the key, nothing. The light isn't burnt out, since it comes on
- when starting. I'll have to try it with the VOM. Could there be a fusible
- link along the diag. wires that is blown?
