Ground Question

NatesGT · December 9th, 2010, 06:25 PM

I think I asked a few months ago, why did my abs light come when i turned my headlights on? I have Hid's, factory lenses. Someone told me to check my grounds. So my questio is where do i check the grounds? Im very mechanical but not so much on the electrical.

Grounds are the wires (usually black in colour) that connect to bare metal on the cars chassis. They run off of your ballasts. Ensure they are tight, secure, and on clean bare metal. Also ensure that they are not grounding too close to your ABS grounds, so if you need to move the ground location to something better suited on the frame rails, I recommend doing so.

Oh i just plugged them into the headlight connections. There is no seperate ground wire off the ballast. I guess i can run one though.
