  • Grounding wires?

    Sorry if this has been discussed. I've searched for it but couldn't really find an answer. What is the point of attacting grounding wires on your car? and also if it does do anything, what are the points you need to attach?

    thanks guys,

    Re: Grounding wires?

    Whats the point of having ground wires or grounding wires? Ground wires are essential to allowing electrical flow back to the battery. electrical systems basically flow in a loop. from positive battery to load, grounded to frame, frame transmits flow to negative side of battery

        ok i guess what i was asking was how does putting extra grounding wires on different parts of your car help the performance of your car? and if it does where are these points on my car?

          Extra? Do you mean bigger gauge?

                your thinking too much into things. I wouldn't worry about trying to "upgrade" your ground system.
