An inadequate ground is the cause of a high percentage of electrical problems. I make it a habit to wire in a separate grounding circuit and run a grounding wire from every piece of electric on the car to a dedicated grounding block. The days of grounding to a sheet metal screw in the inner fender well are waaaaaay behind me ! Perfect example is that loose starter, as stated it was an inadequate ground. If there had been a dedicated grounding wire the 'starter' problem wouldn't have occurred. In that particular instance,however, a possible catastrophe was discovered before it happened. I've had the starter dragging on the ground experience, myself ! ops: ops:
