OR
3. Remove existing ground wires for all electrical components. Reground wires to different locations.
Verify that grounding location is clean, shiny metal free of paint, rust etc.
OR
4. Add secondary ground cable from negative battery terminal to the chassis metal or engine block of vehicle.
OR
5. Have alternator and battery load tested by your mechanic. Verify good working order of vehicle electrical system including distributor,
spark plugs, spark plug wires, voltage regulator etc.
IMPORTANT!
Always observe the correct polarity of all connections!
