[QUOTE="twothirteen, post: 7547401, member: 637374"] Having all fuses in tact and all power wires touching but no ground wires touching the battery terminal posts, I touched one (the 4g) ground wire to the negative post & my hood light turned on, but not only that -- my doors made that grind noise instantaneously. Wire off, lights off. Wire on, grind noise, lights on. etc etc. I went through the fuse box and pulled a few inconspicuous fuses, tapped the grounding wire to the negative post again and viola, no grinding noise and the lights turned on. I narrowed it down to one fuse, labeled Power ACC. (this term differs per vehicle, but I just read online that Power ACC was someones blinkers on a motorcycle, hope that's not the case for my Bravada) After pulling the fuse I hooked the battery and wiring all up, installed the wires for my xenon headlights & sound system, and I expect to wake up in the morning with the ability to start my vehicle.... I think I really narrowed it down by getting that fuse pulled. It wasn't blown but removing all power to the circuitry will prevent any of its parasitic loss. What's your guys' opinions on my grounding point? I still think that it could be much better. [/QUOTE]
