Relocated Battery, now some problems..
Monday, July 06, 2009 9:03 PM
Hello all,

I relocated my battery this weekend to the trunk and now my airbag light is constantly on, when i turn my high beams on then back off the high beam indicator light stays on and also my passenger headlight is very dim, even with the brights on; also my horn no longer works.. I switched bulbs around and it was still dim on the passenger side (it looks like it is not getting enough power or something) and i also noticed the clippy guy that holds the headlight in place along with the bolts was missing. (not sure if thats needed for a ground or whatever, but i dont think it is since i have had my lights on when they are not in the slots)

so what im thinking is either my battery ground is not good enough (pics below) or what i found when i searched was the harness by the washer fluid bottle might be screwed up.




So what do you think, is this a bad grounding spot or is the problem somewhere else in the system? I suppose im just looking for some verification of what i suspect already, also hoping if someone had a similiar problem they could point me to the problem so i can fix it quick instead of tearing stuff apart looking for a faulty wire

also i checked the fuses for the horn and headlights, forgot to check the airbag one, but right now im just assuming its good so if it is i can still find the problem from this post


might be a little off the topic of this post, but i dont want to start a new thread just to ask, i didnt see it in the instructions, so im assuming no, but do i need to put teflon paste on the nitrous nozzle that mounts into the intake?

Thanks for your time

Doesn't look like a very good ground to me.

You need to also ground to the engine.

Did you ever get it fixed? And could you take some pictures of your engine bay where starter is wired up? Thanks!

Please tell me it's not either of the little wires. You need a ground from battery to the engine bay, preferably the block. Steel is a poor conductor, especially the thin gauge that cars are made of.
