^ except my car doesnt start lol. So this morning i woke up extra early to rip apart my trunk to see how the battery positive cable is grounded. Take a look. I also have a red wire with a fuse block attached i didnt have enough time to see how that is connected ill see this afternoon. Im not sure if the ground is the best place.
Steve do you know how your battery is grounded?

it its a weak or faulty ground there are many things that will act up and not function properly, or not work at all depending on how much power is needed to make that perticular item function

Dear Ken,
After reviewing your ground point with the technicians @ Bubble Tech (un-certified) I do not believe that is a good grounding point. It looks like it is grounded to the coilovers/strut... I think moving it will make a difference, but when I was experiencing electrical problems i just threw another ground from the battery to the chassis (so i have 2 now) and it did improve my voltage (confirmed by my PFC, it went from 12.2-12.5 to 13.0-13.5)
Bangkok- If its a faulty ground I do believe the gauges will still work but the glitching would be due to a bad ground.... hence why it works but on occurrences it flickers and doesnt...
Just my .02 i dont really know anything im just making this all up out of logic lol (except my experiences) lolol

Thanks guys i changed the ground where it was before it was only making maybe 2 3rds contact because the bolt and washer woulnt allow the piece to sit flush...it seems to be ok now but i think the wiring is still in correct im going to rip it apart maybe this weekend and see whats up.
