ground strap

[Peter J Larsen]

if a ground strap faults on you.:
corrosoin/ loose/ etc. what would be the result??.
My car reads alway higher temperature on the instrument , but actually,
it is not as high( checking with an infrar red light).
could it be the ground strap is not doing well??
Also my ground strap is connected one side to the body and the other
side to the starter . Is this correct ???

Temp problem and ground strap. Unrelated.

Ground strap is not connected to the starter. I may be connected to one of the bolts that also holds the starter to the flywheel housing.
