Re: quick question
A bad ground could possibly only effect the other lights when the headlights are on because your ground could be weak, only allowing a portion of the currant for total lights to pass, with headlights off, you may have enough grounding capacity to handle but turn on the headlights (which uses a lot of power) ground could possibly not be good enough to handle them, and other lights simultanously. I am just saying that this could be a possibility. I am not an electrical engeneer, but I am very knowledgable on wireing for everyday use. I also know, that sometimes rules of the road (rules of electronics) sometimes get sidetracted, and it is a problem finding fault, and curing the problem. In my lifetime, I have cured many problems with many items, washers, ranges, dryers, lighting systems and so on. Upon making them whole again, I am asked what I did to fix it, and my answer is I do not know. This usually pisses the qusteioner off, and I explain that I just went into the system, did many things, and now it works, although I do not know which, or what made it work, and possibly it was a littlee of all that fixed it. Where as today many service men are parts changers, they keep putting on new parts (charging you for all of them even if it is not the problem), till they correct the problem. In some instances they will never find the problem, because there is no clearcut solution, or bad part. But what the system needs is just a complete going over, tightening this, scraping off corrosion here, and there, replace a frayed wire here, and there, banging this, and tapping that, and "VIOLA" now it works, and how the h*ll should I know what was wrong with it?? Well, let me tell you, in my 70 years on this earth, I have came along behind a lot of experts, and not knowing a danmed thing about it (what ever it was/is) got it to work when they couldn't, because all they did was replaced good parts for new parts, and I tapped this, and twisted that, and something/all I did helped. So, as I sid in my previous post, go over it, and loosen, check, and retighten, and reconnect every light or connection/ground point on the system.
