I was planning on buying the grounding kit available in the classifieds, would this accomplish what I am trying to do? No offense to the seller, I just hate asking the person who wants to sell me the product if it will work for me, the answer is almost always yes, even if it should have been something else.
extra grounds work. I have used them myself successfully. My car actually cutoff while i was driving it due to bag grounds and, i cleaned up my original grounds and added some aftermarket and never had the issue again, the lights stopped dimming aswell. So it works.

observation for the OP...
you scraped all the paint off to bare metal and put the connectors/lugs on them....wouldn't the bare metal that you created rust out the area faster?

NOW READ WHAT IM SAYING.

Bypassing the alternator fuse by adding a power wire from the alternator to the battery is a TERRIBLE and dangerous idea. You need to remove that immediately before it causes a massive amount of damage. Nobody is saying grounding is a bad idea and doesnt work. THE LOCATION OF YOUR GROUNDS is a bad and dangerous idea, yes it works but its NOT SAFE.

you stupid **** listen to what you are being told stop just saying "it works so im not wrong".

hey now, thundercnut, calm down.

I hope to GOD that your "aviation" handle refers to the fact that you get high, and has absolutely nothing to do with being a pilot. Because I think if America knew they had folks like you actually in charge of anything aerospace related, our entire system would have to be shut down for its own protection.

At this point it is clear Aviation has won the battle. He's been clear he isn't listening and is enjoying screwing with everyone. Further replies and attempts to help this guy are an act of insanity.

That wire has to go no matter what fuse you use.

negative grounds work we know, because we are using them but those positive power wires, no, those have to go. Those are dangerous.

Are you saying you want to bypass the alternator fuse by adding a power wire from the battery to the alternator, and then add a fuse in said power wire????????

Your crappy lights were, to you, a baseline of performance. Doing what you did helped. But your "baseline performance" is what is known as SH!TTY GROUNDING!!! And that's POOR PERFORMANCE to the rest of us.

Now, your car is acting a lot better...so to you, that's a huge performance gain. But to us it's called NORMAL. Your grounding situation was sh!tty to begin with.


Welcome to normal.
This is what I was trying to explain but this guy just isn't getting it.

the reason i added a positive is because the stock wire is not the greatest and has less current flow and more resistance. i saw a noticable improvement adding this wire. i am going to fuse it and rout the wire a safe route

you are wrong tunermaxima. i have said it 3 different times, i redid and checked the factory grounds before trying my method. i had a perfect stock system, with a new battery and alt and still had dim dash lights and sluggish performance.

this would be the control in my experiment, a totally stock electrical system, perfectly grounded, no corrosion

my bright dash lights are a direct affect of adding wires, not restoring lost potential

I thought by adding lower power leds it reduces the draw on the alty and adds 125hp and brighter dash lights?

and the thicker/shorter your battery-to-body "main ground" is, the better... let the car's body do the work, not your wiring.
