Remove the grounding kit and put it in a box labelled

Stuff that don't do anything.

Dude you wasted $90. You could of bought 0 gauge wire and did it yourself for $20 its known as the big 3. Batt neg to chassis, Batt pos to alt pos, and engine to chassis. o gauge is the best to do it with and 4 at the absolute minimum. All you did was make your electrical system more efficient thats why your system hits harder and probly less dimming.

go to autozone and run the scanner and get the code, google the code and work backwards and see if what you did had anything to do with it..
