Flat copper braided wire from O2 harness
Flat copper braided wire from O2 harness I have a flat copper braided wire coming out of my driver's side O2 wiring harness...is this a ground? If so, where does it mount from the factory? Thanks

Yes it's a ground strap. There's probably a hole nearby...can't say I know for sure where it's supposed to bolt down. If you can't find the original location, just make sure it touches the body somewhere.
Does it reach the engine?

Take a look around and see if the other end is still bolted onto something. Then you at least know where it went. If it's a body ground, then just get it to the ground. You could probably get a ground strap at the local auto store. I can't say I ever used a regular stranded wire for a replacement. I can't see it being a problem.

charging problem...? I'm guessing you have already replace the alternator and battery hence the lingering problem. Check the battery cables, they sometimes rot then create too much of a voltage drop.
