[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 436590, member: 13140"] Pappy never said the wire should be grounded directly to the block. It goes to the key. The wire should have 300v on it when running and it should be at ground potential when off. The key switches it to ground when off. Ground is ground and it could come from a lot of places but eventually it does wind up on the block and on the neg batt terminal thru different wires. Do you have a volt ohm meter? Can you read the 300v at the key? Is the key grounded when off? If yes then your fixed. keep at it. [/QUOTE]
