Tip or Vi, you two are EE types. Concerning transmission of a current through a crappy conductor. I thought that you could overcome resistance from a poor conductor like steel v CU by increasing the cross section by a linear amount, i.e. the frame. Probably a factor of 10 x 1 for frame steel to CU. Am I missing something? Temps are ~ 130F'. This is a car I'm talking about. Seems pretty clear to me, so there must be major corrosion on some frame joint that would knock things down so much. The car does flex a bunch but this is falling on deaf ears other than the kid. The kid doesn't have much money, but I think I'm correct if that long ago high school class taught me anything. -g- His dad wants to string a ground wire ... I think we need to find out where the frame is bad and weld it up.
