i have a 98 grand am se .i was messing w/ the power mirrors and push down on the switch to move the mirrors instead of twisting it to point to the side i wanted to move [duh], when i pushed down on the switch my radio went out as well as auto door locks interior light door dinger ,also my brakelight and abs light came on . i checked all my fuses all were good.the only place i dont have power is to my abs fuse .the fuse is good but i dont have power to the fuse so iam assuming its a fusable link how can i locate it physically on the car?

I have a 95 grand am 2.3L and my fuseable links are connected to the starter. The battery cable runs to the starter then the 4 fuseable links run to the wire harness to power everything in the car. If yours is like mine its almost at the end of the wire harness, so you can take some plugs loose to get it out where you can work with it, jump a wire from the positive terminal on the batter to the fuseable links, then probe them before and after the links to determine which one is bad. The ends on my links went bad, replaced them and I was good to go.
