AMI CUSTOMS Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah the frame would be better then seat belt bolt. But the battery negative is best. And look at your other thread I responded. Oh okay, I see! So, just ground to the actual frame and if I still get a little dimming, get another battery? Yes, now you are getting it.

inm Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Call me a noob, but why do bad grounds effect dimming? I never understood that... May as well learn now...

AMI CUSTOMS Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 A weak connection causes the flow of electrons to jump(arc) across the metal, giving it a delay in connection, thus you see a dimming.

inm Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just to get it straight... Grounding is really just completely the connection, right? The chassis just acts as a connection to completely the circuit going back to the battery? Which would explain why the best option is to run the ground all the way to the battery itself? Or is this completely wrong?

inm Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Alright thanks! That's what I had thought it was, but I was never 100% sure. To the OP: Sorry for thread jacking, it was just the same topic.

ZombieswithMustaches Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 So I grounded it o the frame this morning. Found a bolt that was holding a brake line(?) in place. I sanded it down and added my ground. Got out and checked for dimming lights, and still got them. BUT, at least, I know that ground is right now! So, today I'm gonna try and borrow a friends voltmeter or just go buy a cheap one and see what's up! I figure I just need another battery or two!

Not really.. The electrons just don't complete the circle, you lose a few(thru heat) or they slow down. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
