Electrical/Wiring Question
There's not really an electrical section anywhere, but figured it'd fit best here since anyone who's removed the dash to gut or put in a 10pt might have some info....
I'm trying to track down what i guess is a bad ground.
Everytime i start my car, the tach/speedo, etc reset. They all sweep, trip meter resets etc. years ago this happened and it was due to a bad battery. i've got a brand new optima and it still does it.
Here's the reason why i think it's a ground. When i go to pop the clutch to do a burn out in the water box, the jolt to the car makes the tach/speedo reset, just like on start up.
so my question is where is the ground for all the wiring behind the dashboard? the only 1 i can think of is on the passenger side iirc.
any thoughts?

My car started doing the same thing after I relocated the battery. I tried to find the problem but was unsuccessful. I never checked the grounds under the dash...
