RE: [DML] Re: melted wires

Are you suggesting that you fuse each individual ground wire or the
"composite" ground wire.
If you fuse the "composite" ground wire, don't you risk shutting the whole
car down when this fuse melts?
Isn't there a fusible link on the car?

Shain, That's a good idea, but it all circles back to one ground wire. No
matter how you get there, it's one ground back. If you really want to help
the situation, then fuse the ground wire. That way if you have a short that
one fuse in the box doesn't catch it, the ground fuse might.

<< What i did was replace the wires (socket clips are availbe at
auto parts store), but i ran the wire to the screw holes on the
metal plate that holds all the electrics. I used eye hold type
conenctors and ss screws to make it look good. You then run the
inital ground wire there as well. The idea is each relay has it's
own grounding point. Haven't had a problem yet, and grady says it's
a good idea.
