Ground Wire Kit Instalation questions

Post by Adam454ss »

I received my Groundwire kit a couple of days ago and have questions which components should be grounded with kit besides the ones that are suggested by manufacturer. I did email the place I purchased it from concerning Head Lamp grounding, they replied this kit is not recommended to ground the head lamp system. It does say it in the, I might add, small and vague instruction sheet.
This is why I have questions and am asking for help. I am hooking it up to my 2000 Daewoo Nubira 2.
Thanks!
When in doubt, FLOOR it!!!

We did have 2 separate threads on this forum about it somewhere... I know I started the first one. Do a search on it.

OZ said anything more than the battry to body and battry to engine is just a waste of time and effort.

Yes, and also from a body to a positive alternator... something like that.

Only if you wanna start a fire...

I don't suggest grounding a 12V power wire...

its from alternator positive to battry positive or so... battry positive to body will make a short circuit and cause a fire.
