Ground Issues

94blakonblak · October 7th, 2009, 02:44 PM

I'm starting to think I have ground issues. I was driving today thinking bout stuff. I get odd feedback in my stereo, and when I do plug in my dash clock it'll show up then disappear then the light'll fade and stuff. Anybody think a ground problem could be to blame?

Certainly sounds like it.

Tried to tell you in your other thread. Hows the battery terminals look? there should also be a ground on your fender well near your battery and one going to your block. check those and see if there tight and corrosion free. its been awhile since i've worked on one so i know the advice is kinda vague.

Battery look fine Ill pull it and redo, Ill check block too thanks

Where does the ground wire run from my battery? I see it goes into a loom, then where?

Bullitt95 · October 8th, 2009, 03:22 PM

It should go onto the driver's side of the timing cover in front of the oil filter.

Cars can be like women. They have a wrong time of the month, can be money pits, and will give you grief if you don't give them TLC.

The car is well maintained. Has right around 64k. It's a 94. Mostly stock. Thats why I'm confused
