Default >>we were down a volt

>>we were down a volt and a half at the engine with a rear mounted battery and ground to the rear of a chomemoly frame. Direct gound from battery to the engine corrected the voltage drop.<<

Yes sir indeed....there are LOTS of examples of insuficient ground circuits causing problems of all different types.


When faced with electrical problems that act strange (outside normal explanation) a test of the grounds circuits are definatly a good place to start looking around. As the cars age the ground circuits become even more of an issue. One typical example of a poor ground circuit is slow 308 windows. While upgrading &amp; modifying the GC doesn't make the windows rocket, it does omprove speed &amp; reduce heat in the switches &amp; motors.
