John, That is interesting, I had to replace the fusible link in MY 69 LeBaron in 1973, but it also had the JUMPER cable from the battery to the headlight switch. I know that there was an issue with the "billboard lighting" in the back to cause Chrysler to issue a service bullitin to have the jumper wire installed in some of the early 69's.
