Pissed off with motor, want to change
The body was not grounded to the battery. The negative cable runs to the engine block, and nowhere else. Going to run more and better grounds. It changed nothing after I installed the one yesterday.
Jimmyray, the wires are routed through a wire loom at the point you are pointing at. I mounted one on the shock tower temporarily for the exact reason you speak of. They are all separated. Long, yes. Same as the originals that ran perfectly. I have a pre-made set that is shorter that I haven't installed yet.
