The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

    It's probably a ground. A short would blow fuses or set your car on fire, typically. clean your connections and try again.

          What about to hold them down on the terminals?

              Dude, there's screws that tighten the terminals down. Take off the nut, and put it in between where the terminal and nut go.
              Unless I misunderstood the question, then it's the same process for whatever you're trying to ground.

                I seen that but i think it's worst cuz it's does not fully get it because my turminal connecters are small from the srew to the end of it. Dont think it will fit. Thanks anyways i think it's a good ideal if is a quick and inexpensive way.
