I was lucky to save some hardware from an extra engine that included the stud for the ground that goes to to motor mount and i replaced one of the bolts to the motor mount with it. So I basically made both bolts for the motor mounts studs and added the big 3 to the new one for a clean install.
finally a video, i bought my 00 GT with this kill switch and honestly wasnt sure where some of these wires went, and im thinking its just a ground kill switch, one comes from the battery and goes into the cab then jumps back into the engine bay where you showed and goes under the car, those smaller wires i wasnt too sure where they went, seems like if i just run it all back to the neg of the battery then i will be fine
I have to replace the positive battery cables. But I know we got a loose ground wire for the radio. I'm just learning all I can about wiring, specifically ground wires, (there's so gd many!)
Pretty sure I have a bad ground somewhere as all four of my O2 sensors are throwing heater codes. Fuse is good. Sensors are new. Need to chase down where they ground to.
I put a tubular k-member in my 01 cobra when i was swapping in a built 98 cobra teksid, and it came with new motor mount bolts, without studs, so when I was finished doing the swap, there was a few ground wires I had left over so this helped 4 sure. I usually put all nuts and bolts back where they go after I remove them so I never forget where they go, even though I can look at mustang bolts and pretty much tell where they go (especially fox bodies), but when you don't work on the car for a bit, you still can forget especially because a lot of the 4v bolts are the same, respectively, but the grounds that weren't connected to the harness were a different story.
The cable shown at 0:14 has been disconnected since buying my car in 2017. Do you think this could possibly just now be an issue? My 03 GT won’t hold a charge, turning on the lights, using the radio and hitting the brakes (brake lights) all drain it fast. Any help with my headache would be greatly appreciated!
Are these ground locations on all sn95's? I have a 94 5.0 that's having problems going past 4k rpms with load. The car stumbles and breaks up real bad and was said could be ground issue. I can't find a ground wire on my firewall at all and can't find reliable info on where they all go
This video shows where they are mostly, in exception to the starter (some use the transmission itself as the ground for the starter). You should have the one by the oil filter and on the motor mount(s) for sure
On the blue motor mount , where the belt strap is, on my car they are together on the bottom nut . And it seems burnt , my #17 or #18 fuse blows every time I turn key to ON. Causing car not to start .
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thanks so much man I love your videos they’re very informative. I’ve pulled the motor and replaced the timing chain with your help. Now I’m putting it back together. If I need more help I will comment.👍🏾
I have a question let’s say that chassis location for the ground strap is not there …where else could i put it on the chassis? …Could I ground it where the sway bar bushing and mounting bolts and nuts are?
The dashes usually indicate it is not connecting to the computer. It depends on which module, one can be the ccrm behind the fender (I’ll link a video below).

Just did a swap on my 2000 Gt.... My problem is my fuel pump wont engage.... Hot wired it and it came on... My question is can I run a toggle switch to keep the engine running?
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I checked all fuses and relays.... Nothing was wrong with them.... My gas hand works so I guess there's power but the pump isn't working.... What are your thoughts on this??? Again any help would be appreciated

Faulty ground will make everything crazy !
I never had the negative ground connected I never messed with it I finally connected now my car won't start now was it that ground
Definitely true... My speedo tweaking out, passenger head light dim, engine dying when turning on heater, misfiring. Now it's mint 🤣
Still need help lol

Which positive wires control the signal to starter.?

Is there a particular engine ground that is recommended for charging or jump starting the battery of a '99-04 mustang?

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok I've found the one by the oil filter and I'll check the motor mounts for sure. Thanks
I have 4 ground straps undone but everything works as should little sputtery under 1500 rpm but other then that no problems
Thank you my 2v appreciate it as well 🙏🏿
Do you happen to know the size and pitch of the nuts holding down the ground cable to the engine near the oil filter housing?
Should be 13mm nut but I don’t know the pitch
On the blue motor mount , where the belt strap is, on my car they are together on the bottom nut . And it seems burnt , my #17 or #18 fuse blows every time I turn key to ON. Causing car not to start .
If you can follow the ground wire to the other end, replace it. If you can’t, you may need to graft in a new section
What is the connector that comes out by positive terminal/ fuse box? Trying to put my wiring harness back no clue where it goes
Yes, it’s good go to the junction box
My 2006 gt positive terminal gets really hot like its about to start smoking any ideas?
Anyone know which ground feeds the fuel pump????
Did you find out?
Right turn back signal doesnt work but lights do, battery drains in 3 hours, and windshield wipers wont turn on. Can a bad ground cause all those?
Check all fuses for a power draw th-cam.com/video/s98LpJFGg4A/w-d-xo.html
U think that wire harness would fit a 94 gr
What happens if the ground strap to chassis isn’t connected?
Mines crumbled
Sometimes it still runs, but it might turn off or have some systems act up

S197 ground near the starter is disconnected on my car.
Is it still there, not connected or you can’t find it? Some don’t have a ground on the starter and use the transmission itself as the ground
Hey question, my 197 is the same way… has it affected your radio?

Depending on the car, it might have a ground on the starter and some do not. I’m on insta with the same name
back in the old days a car had maybe 2 possibly 3 grounds this is just crappy engineering
more stuff to ground, oldhead.
It’s not the old days. Neither is the tech
