Volt testing question? need guidance... 700

Hi,

You definitely have a ground problem. Loosen and retighten ground straping areas.

To start, I believe there should be a grounding area on left inside side panel,(will have ignition ECU grounded here) definitely one next to FI ECU on rt side panel. Remove instrument cluster(2 hidden screws behind pop off covers ) follow black wires from cluster.I think there is another ground area next to relay/fuse cluster area. Inside engine compartment- front left side near charcoal cannister, left headlight( this is a high failure area). Firewall ground strap to valve cover.


Measure resistance of ground from battery post to engine block. High resistance indicates corroded ground wire.(may be internal and not visable at ends)

Measure voltage across ground from alternator to block.

Good Luck , Joe
