Just add the grounds and be done with it. It is a cheap fix to do and will take the question out of this puzzle once and for good !...

else your problem will keep coming up as offen as this subject and question comes up on threads !

If 90% of eletrical problems are related to grounds, then doesn't it just make sense that eliminating grounds will get rid of 90% of electrical problems?

I have a single ground wire running from the battery to the firewall. Zero electrical issues.

I need another beer and for all these damn girl scouts to get out of my house.
