Grounding your wire is crucial to the safety of yourself and your vehicle in the event of a short 
circuit. The chassis of your vehicle generally makes a good ground. However, vehicles today are 
built with a combination of metals, spot welds, glued together uni-body panels and isolated 
chassis components. Therefore, we cannot assume that a good ground will automatically be on 
the chassis.

In most vehicles you should be able to locate an obvious ground near the fuse box. Your owner’s 
manual may even tell you where the factory ground is. If you are unable to locate a ground point, 
we’ll show you how to locate a ground. There are 2 ways to test your ground point.

TESTING YOUR GROUND POINT

CONTINUITY TEST 

[ SET MULTIMETER TO 200 OHMS      ]

 

     

1. 

Set your multimeter to 

Continuity Test

 or 

200 ohms

.

     

2.

 Using the 

black

 lead, touch the 

negative

 (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery 

         and then place the 

red

 lead on to your 

ground point

. Your multimeter should 

         beep if it is a complete path. If it does not beep, look for another ground. 

RESISTANCE TEST 

[ SET MULTIMETER TO         ] 

     

1.

 Set your multimeter to 

Resistance Mode 

or 

Diode Check

.

     

2.

 Using the 

black

 lead, touch the 

negative

 (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery 

         and then place the 

red

 lead on to your 

ground point

. A good ground point should read less 

         than .2 ohms.

Locate a secure bolt on your chassis. Use your multimeter to test.
