Quote: It's too easy not to run a cable from the - side of the battery to a ground block and branch off of that...When a electical problem pops up I know it's not a bad/loose ground, I can see everyone of them and they are all labeled.
IMO electical gremlins are the hardest to chase down so I like to keep it easy. Here's my finished panel. Fan and fuel pump relays are close to the source but still ground back to the battery.
Yes its easy to do that... but when I was working our goal was to to ALWAYS get weight down in a car... and we always tried to get a bracket(or anything) to do 2 or more jobs.. in other words you dont have 2 brackets doing 2 jobs instead of one... the chassis is there... its now a wire also besides being a chassis
