[DML] Re: weird problem (electrical)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you have weird electrical problems the first thing that should be
checked is all the ground connections. When power doesn't get properly
grounded and there are multiple connections at the same grounding
point you get "backfeeds" and they can cause all kinds of weird
symptoms. There are several on a Delorean with some of the more common
problem ones being:
The one on the left radiator support
All the "big" connections by the frame/battery/starter
Behind the radio
These and all others you can find should be taken apart and made clean
and shiny and tight.
