Default Body Grounds

Hey I just wanted to throw a little tip out there for people having electrical problems with their cars. BEFORE you buy a new part, check the ground, if its loose at ALL it isn't working. Tighten it down first and see if that fixes the problem. I almost bought a 900 dollar abs pump, but while i was installing new hubs on the front of my car i noticed the ground was loose, i tightend it down and my anti-lock light went out and hasn't come back on ever since. I hope this helps someone.

Word.... when i dropped in my Optima red top battery, i had to lay it on its side (wrong size for the car) but i didnt realize that one of my ground wires wasnt making perfect contact.. it would spark REALLY badly.... and the car had all kinds of running problems.... but some electrical tape fixed that problem!
