Maxi Fuses:
On the 1989 Allante the fusible links located near the battery have been replaced by a new circuit protection device, the Maxi Fuse, refer to Figure 2.
The Maxi Fuse is very similar to a standard Auto Fuse. The major differences are the physical size and the amperage capacity. The Maxi Fuses are located in a small covered fuse block above the battery, refer to Figure 3. They may be serviced by unplugging them from the fuse block and installing a new part.
The Allante uses eight Maxi Fuses. Most of the Maxi Fuses function similar to fusible links in that they supply high power circuits which are then protected by smaller Auto Fuses. Table 1 summarizes the circuits supplied by each Maxi Fuse. Table 2 lists Maxi Fuse part numbers, amp capacity and color.
For warranty purposes use Labor Operation N1720 at .2 hour for replacement of Maxi Fuses.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
