Hi,

Just curious. My GN has been super dependable for the two years I've owned it (save for the PM brakes!) till today.

Go to leave work and it wouldn't start. :eek: Dig. dash fuel level display was just two dashes (no number), so I popped the hood and sure enough, no pressure on the guage. Figure it's a power supply to the whole sending unit since the dash was acting up, too. Yep... I jiggled my auxiliary fuel tank ground wire and then had power. Been on there almost two years, so it was "due"! Cleaned it up and reattached it, and it seems fine. Even added another ground strap to try to avoid future probs.

BUT... there must be another ground in that Casper's Hot-Wire-connected-to-the-factory-wiring kit, right? Is the kit ground established from bolting the relay to the car, as that was a little loose, too?

Thanks,
 
Jay, there is a ground strap that comes w/ the kit that is normally grounded to the "lip" on the gas tank itself. At least that's what I recall. HTH:)
 
Thanks for the reply. I guess that's the same thing I'm calling the "auxiliary" ground. Strap from lip to frame. There has to be a ground in the Hot Wire kit itself, though, cause I've seen them run without the tank strap. Just wondeing where I should double check to make sure it is all well grounded. Thanks!
