engine ground cant find it

[jeff1971]

cant figure out no start i have something grounded out i unhook the wire harness and brain and still see the ground help

 

[pjtoledo]

a few more details would help.

when something is "grounded" it means there is a direct no-resistance path from power supply back to the ground.

that means wayyy to much current and results in burning wires or blown fuses. hopefully the fuse goes first and the wires don't get too hot.

don't forget fuse links, a short piece of smaller wire located near the power source meant to burn out first.


so, where are you detecting this ground?

Yes, +1, need more info

"No start" means ??

No lights on dash with key on?

No starter motor activation when key is turned to START?

Starter motor works but engine doesn't start?


If starter motor is working then spray fuel, gasoline or Ether(quick start) into the intake and see if it starts/fires
