Hi, I would like to know, for those of you electrical wiz, how a gound wire kit works??

It would help me a lot if you guys can post some pics of your gound wire kits installed on your car...

When you connect your ground wires to the negative grounding point (or the metal plate that is on the inner side of yoru battery compartment that is connected to the negative output), does it make a spark when you touch your ground wire to the plate?
If so, does this mean that it does not work?

Thanx.

Check out the Skidazzle thread on grounding kits, it might tell you what you want to know....

grounding kit should not spark. it at no point carries any current other than slight discharges. the loop runs from the frame(which is already grounded by a thin wire) to the engine block(already grounded by a thin wire) around the block for more contact points; to the negative terminal of the battery. you are not grounding anything new, all of the stuff is already grounded, which does make their purpose a bit dubious; but the idea is that it reduces resistance by using a larger wire.

easy to argue why slight static discharges and random currents would need 4gauge wire... and its probably overkill for the purpose, but whatever, looks cool; fun to install; pretty inexpensive.

you could ground it to your d1ck and it would give you the same results...
