Tim,

On your age coach it should be terminated on the 12VDC breaker panel in the basement behind the fiberglass cover. I don't have a pic. right handy to post.

Mike

I found the negative house battery terminate there. I have not found the braided wire dash ground.
Thanks for your help.
Tim

Thank you to everybody for your advice on how to fix this problem. This morning I took all the ground cables off to clean them up and found the ones by the alternator. Cleaned them up, clean the battery terminals just to make sure , and fired her up. Can't really tell which one was causing problem but it's fixed. But I think the ones in front of the alternator was the problem? Again, thank you very much for everybody's help and advice. This truly is the best group of people I've ever been associated with.

"We" check every connection before and after repair because "we" want to know if we've really fixed the problem.

FWIW My Studebaker project has the car alarm sounding the horn at random times day or night.  The first problem is that the red car doesn't have an alarm system.  So next up is tracing the signal wire from one end to the other looking for the short to ground.
