Building on the subject, here's a battery groundstrap that needed replacing. Realize all that corrosion was hidden underneath a perfect layer of plastic sheathing. A problem that was totally stealth. And variable. One day it just gave up and I got only 3 volts to ground on a brand new huge battery, but 12.8Volts across the terminals. I had cleaned it many times. One day I got frustrated and slit the insulation open with a razor knife.





Here's a bad ground --- engine electronics to block, same car. You can imagine the random symptoms I was having. No wonder the owner ditched the car. Easy fix:
