I wasn't going to post about this post post but then everyone else had to post their own post posts. So it is a little later than the rest making it my post post post post.

Sorry to have brought up such a highly charged issue.

I am loving all the puns, this post is electric!

[VillaRicaGA911]

It might even be a Direct Connection

[VillaRicaGA911]

Hope it doesn’t meet with too much resistance?

[VillaRicaGA911]

I could go on but I’m drained

must have used a stripper to make ends meet......

Ohm my God! 28 responses, I had no idea this post would generate so much interest!

Are you suggesting the negativity is by design?

You guys are really punny.

Shocking really; that a battery thread could spark up so much interest, but thinking about it, it is a current topic for all of us.

Punny, how a simple post can lead to a charge of positivity.
This has the potential to spark into a flame.

Polarizing thread with no neutral ground? PARFy enough for me

What really blows my fuse is thinking about how so many otherwise competent mechanics fail to make the connection between good wiring and vehicle reliability. I see a direct link between the poorly wired primary wire in that photo and bad wiring I have seen in other cars over the years. It seems impossible, but it but it really isn't that hard to lump them all together if you have a good grounding in basic electrical principals.

It's a hot topic though, and sure to bring about much resistance. People are very sensitive about their wiring ability, but it really makes a lot of sense when you get into the flow. Of course you may have an alternate theory, but I prefer to keep it direct.

That's amateurish wiring, not done in a professional garage, probably done at Ohm.
