Voltage drop; better ground location needed maybe?

[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8698807, member: 562180"] A poor connection, corrosion, the type of wire being used, the diameter or gauge of the wire, and the distance between the source and the load can all cause resistance in wiring. If it were me, I'd go over every single nut/bolt and make sure everything is tight. 90% of time voltage drop is caused by a lose/poor connection somewhere...and can lead to further troubles such as melting of fuse holders, and wiring. Also make sure the battery is in good condition. Have it load tested too if you can or if it's new within a few to several months. [/QUOTE]
