n8ball2013 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 the only way you are going to get sparks is by completing the circuit. meaning you have a ground touching a power somwehre.

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Why do you have a negative coming off alt? mechman recommends grounding the alt with a wire aside from the grounding it gets from the bracket, they even put an extra bolt to do it from.

ALPINE408 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) if you hook up ground frist then go to add power and it sparkes you take the power off no more sparks.. if you have power on frist and something grounds out guess what its a lot harder to stop.. if hooking up power frist if something grounds out when you already have a few powers hooked up how do you disconect fast?

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) that's the thing, itdid it before even making contact with the battery those select grounds were going to. I didn't even have it in contact with the battery. (refer to the picture)it did it when the grounds touched when i was going to hook them up.

bre2ts Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 if you hook up ground frist then go to add power and it sparkes you take the power off no more sparks.. if you have power on frist and something grounds out guess what its a lot harder to stop.. if hooking up power frist if something grounds out when you already have a few powers hooked up how do you disconect fast? You connect the positive first because it changes nothing by hooking up the ground first you have now given the battery a circuit and is now considered "hot". The reason why any battery would spark while connecting the ground is because somewhere in the circuit something is drawing power, whether it be the dome light because the doors open or the simple constants to clocks and radios. All of those things would cause the battery to spark a little at connection. Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
