Electrical Gremlins...maybe bad ground?

[CoasTek240]

Ok. So ive had my Battery Relocated for 2 years. But recently I had my starter go out (along with a laundry list of other probs). I replaced it. My car wasnt starting still. So I redid my distribution block all new connections, new terminals, and a fuse block.
I think my problem may be the ground in my trunk? I'm not sure. I'm looking for a good solid place to ground it, but im not having much luck. A local car audio guy said that even grounded to a solid piece of metal in the trunk that it still may not be completing the circuit.

any advice on where to ground this or what may be wrong.

oh and the car starts fine when i hook up my jump box to the power wire and ground in the engine bay.

heres some pictures.

does anything else work ?


will it just not start or are you getting nothing at all?

this might not be your problem but hey, it worked for me when i had a similar issue. the bolt on the alternator. might have come lose.

everything works. just not starting.

the bolt on the alternator is tight.

I would say it is very simple grab a dvom and do voltage drops at the back of the car if you are getting 12v then i would check other things like the alternator and also the distribution block, the ground looks fine in the trunk. you can also check your grounds in the engine compartment

if you have extra wire run it back to the front and ground it to the motor if it starts the its a ground problem in the back, or get really long wires for a dvm and try to see the resistance from the front to the back...

Well I finally extended the ground cable and replaced the + and - terminals. I also installed a 100 amp fuse in between the battery and the distribution block in the engine bay.
cranks up perfect now.
thanks everyone.
