Saltine Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 i had a problem on a 1990 style ford taurus that the ground wire in the aftermarket harness didnt match up to the ground wire in the factory car harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron813 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 IF it is a ground problem then i would just do a frame ground from the wire harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
