Bad Ground
Green has lost all electrical power a few times now. I know there was a post somewhere about cleaning/upgrading the grounds, but I can't find it on ASV. Am I remembering something on AS before the crash and sale? Help.

saw your other post, I love it when I can open the hood jiggle a few wires and limp home. It almost makes me feel like I know what the hell I'm doing
