blackrosetiger Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 a body is made of steel lol. not aluminum.... hahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You've obviously have never owned or worked a true steel body, because if you have you would know exactly how hard it is to pull a dent out. Newer cars use aluminum alloy bodys. I never once said it was PURE aluminum. Yes a pure aluminum body like what was used on Shelby Cobras are very expensive, but so is steel. But thats all besides the point. The shock tower is not as good a ground as the frame/sub frame. Quote 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 ok still no... but yes it is a fine ground... and like i already pointed out.... if you ever looked underneath a car, there IS NO FRAME. and a subframe would be made of aluminum. please, do some research, or even better just go look at your own car, or your moms car. trucks are different because they do have frames, but cars do not. they are whats called unibodies. the body of the car is the frame, it is the whole structure of the car. no frames. im not going to argue with you because i hope the op has the common since do do his own research and not listen to either of us. and this thread is not about what a car is made of. but please google it. anyway like i already said. check all your wires and make sure your alternator wire did not somehow get grounded out.

No shit sherlock hence why I said sub frame. ALL vehicals have some sort of frame even unibodies. What the fuck do you think the motor mounts to? This is pointless.

baaudio Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 i had this happen to a co-worker. when he hit the brakes hard his battery would shift and cause the positive terminal to short out shutting off the entire car for a second til he got moving again. this can be a really REALLY bad deal. hopefully you figure out the problem soon Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to look at my fuses and they were all fine but as I was moving around in my car checking the fuses the power came back.

Superjay Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 why in the world would the body of the car and the strut mount bolt or either of them be aluminum? an all aluminum body would make a very expensive car... and not a very strong strut mount (which has a 1.4 of the whole cars weight being forced up on it... those threads are welded in. Welds are never great ground points. they always create resistance. always Quote Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welds are never great ground points. they always create resistance. always they cant be welded in or else you wouldnt be able to take the strut out and replace it. its usually a presses fit or bolted on the bottom. they may weld it for extra strength but that wont effect the conductivity b/c its still in contact with the rest of the rest of the body and the rest of the strut, which is attached to the the entire car basically.

Superjay Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 there is a steel sleeve welded into the metal. Take a close look and you'll see it.
