Re: Grounds

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I never made a list of ALL of the grounding points on the car. The two 
that you really have to worry about are the one in front on the frame 
inside by the left front wheel and the "big" ones near the battery, 
engine, starter. As to how to prevent problems after cleaning, you 
should inspect them "once in a while" and they could be coated with a 
compound to keep moisture off them so as to prevent corrosion. I don't 
really like to coat connections as it makes them harder to inspect and 
also messier when you do have to clean them. Whenever you have the car 
on a lift it is just one of the thngs to look at unless you are having 
problems, then just clean them. Bad ground connections can have a way 
of causing weird problems especially when more than one circuit is 
grounded at the same point. In these cases a "back feed" from one 
circuit into another can cause things that you could never think of! 
All metal surfaces of the connecters and frame MUST be clean and 
shinny and tight (no paint on the frame).
