DIY Grounding Wire

Since the cars at my house are quite old already, for sure the grounding wires on the car are worn out due to the cheap material being use, heat and etc... So i decide to DIY some new grounding cable for it and also add some blink2 staff to the engine bay.

First is to get the wire that suitable. i opt for cable that use to power the amplifier. These type of cable normal has very low resistance and can withstand heat very well. This is crucial as these wires will put in the engine bay and of cos it will be very hot. So bad when i get from the shop, the available color only red.



Next is cut the wire with the correct length u need and insert the connector to it.



To make it better, i solder the connection between the connector and wire. It give me felt like this will work better :P My soldering skill is not that good :(



After that, cover the connection with sumitube. It give the feeling that the ground wire is branded one :)



To make sure the connections is good, i use multimeter to measure the resistance of the cable. Set it to 200 ohm as the reading will be very small. The result was very satisfying :)





So far i had do around 13 grounding wires and 2 into my lantis, 5 to my daily drive Kelisa and 6 to my sister'2 Satria.
