Ground Strap vs. Ground Cable

Very good point, and "protection" you pretty much get with an insulated cable

I might add that ground straps have not been used by OEMs for many, many years. "There just might be" a good reason for that


My early to mid 2000s model Fords are still using ground straps. Personally I have only seen cables on imports but I don't work on that many newer cars either. I am talking about the ground strap between the engine and body.
