WOW - Seems Like Your One Road Bump Away From A Car Fire

If It Were Me...
I Would Not Park It In The Garage
I Would Take It Right Away To An Automotive Electrical Specialist
I Don't Mean A Nissan Dealer

While under the car and looking toward the front, the ground wire is on the left side of the transmission. It isn't easy to see, that is why I missed tightening it.

Lol I know right ... I have it parked and all power disconnected ... I’ll backtrack all added electrical wires and go from there

The Weapon

Use a DMM and start pulling fuses. There are several videos on YT showing how to do this.

I bet it's the fuel pump harness if you don't have the upgraded CJ version, followed by Starter or Alternator.

thanks,
TW

I have the fuel relay upgrade ... when I can get time from work I’ll start going through wires and fuses

Jinxx

I’m just wondering ... if I have a power wire touching somewhere why wouldn’t it blow the fuses ... and if I have a ground wire loose why would I have current in the frame ...

Don't forget the starter lug; could be making contact with your boost pipes

I did check that ... looked like it had clearance ... the short that was causing the dash to die I found ... it was the power steering metal line hitting the frame each time it would ark ... I stopped that from happening but now I’m wondering how my frame has a current in it ... seems like if a power wire was hitting somewhere it would be random ... but with the car off I touched the frame and the power steering line and it arked ... so it seems it has a steady current in it from the battery..... but it isn’t blowing fuses or burning wires .... and if there was a loose ground , wouldn’t it just stop working ... I know I’m missing something in my head

jchammond

a loose or poor ground would backfeed & potentially cause this. Disconnect ground from battery & ensure all of you + connections are good....then before re-connecting - to battery,,,inspect other end & where it goes. Should be grounded good to engine & chassis....does not hurt to add additional ground leads.

You may have to get out a DVOM & ck continuity in your cables.....watch for a spark when hooking ground lead back up/as something could be shorting or drawing too many amps.
