Re: [DML] Re: Grounds



Speaking of grounds, when I spent a month catching up by reading back issues before joining the current stream, there was a subject about alternator trouble. And someone said that the delorean doesn't have very much grounding, hench some of the power problems. (including bad alternators) And a aid to this was to get a heavy wire, and bolt it down to the frame, and to the nearest grounding point. (i.e. the alternator) But this was months ago, I'm not a expert on deloreans, just a wannabe owner. I could be wrong.

While there are technicly ground connections all over the car, here
are 3 major ones to look for:

1. Front harness ground. To reach the ground, remove the access panel
over the brake master cylinder. Where the left radiator support
bracket bolts to the chassis.

2. Starter ground. Remove the air cleaner box on top of the engine.
From here you will have full access to the bolt which is located on
the top of the right side of the chassis directly under the coolant
overflow bottle.

3. Battery ground. Remove the deflector shield covering the right
side trailing arm. From here you should be able to access the bolt.

To clean all the connections I removed everything and cleaned both
the bolts, wires, and the connecting surfaces with foamy engine
brite. Ever since my headlights have been brighter, my engine starts
much easier, and the voltmeter on the dash has gone down a little
bit. Now if I run my A/C @ night and stop, my lights don't dim.
