After Installing the HKS muffler on the sedan tonight, I ran into a slight problem. I purchased new bolts from autozone for the exhaust and connected the ground wire with it. Now that I think about it, I dont know if the new bolts wil conduct electricity (the material just felt different). I am starting to believe this lack of ground has caused my auto headlights to not turn off and caused my battery to be drained. So my questions are:

Will the lack of that grounding wire cause my auto headlights to stay on more than 30 minutes even after all the doors were shut and alarm armed?

Should I reconnect the ground with some steel bolts anyway?

Your reply is greatly appreciated

 

i dont have the grounding wire connected and my car has been fine for over 4 months now!

 

i was convinced that was the problem but thinking about it, whats an extra grounding wire gonna do. It wouldnt because the whole car is grounded duh! I think i just shorted something...i don't know i'll have to monitor my car to see if the auto headlights goes back to normal.

 

That grounding wire really does nothing. I've had it off for 2 years now lol

 

ya mines been off for a long time now

 

Isn't it used to ground the cat?

 

mmmm....ground cat! Yum

 

Lol, I didn't even think of it like that. Good one...

 

I had the same thing when I just got my exhaust, its like a second ground, incase the first one fails or something, it really does not need to be on.
