[QUOTE="VisceralSound, post: 7736688, member: 636857"] [quote name='keep_hope_alive']Did you say you have washers between the ring terminal and metal? Don't. Any washers are on the outside between screw head and terminals. Terminal should be touching metal directly. Bolts are superior to screws for grounding, IMO When I measure grounds, I use a resistor in series with my test lead. Some DMM's are inaccurate at low resistances. 10 ohm resistor would suffice. Measure lead/resistor first, then measure ground path with lead, then subtract for difference. Note also that how well the DMM leads are touching will affect results. Oil from your hands can increase meter lead resistance. Clean the leads.[/QUOTE] 1. yes I do have washers between the terminal and metal, I'll remove them tomorrow. 2.
