I have visited other car forums and there seem to be a simple modification one can do inorder to improve electronic efficiency (faster response on drive-by wire, brighter headlamps, better radio reception, less static shock, ) by adding grounding kits. The addt'l grounding wires; battery (-) to body, body to engine, engine to battery(-); improves flow of current by adding more ground connection. The existing ground connections to the body are being terminated on the "painted surface" of the body. Shouldn't all ground termination be on a solid conductive metal surface? How does Automotive electronics designers compensate for the insulation of the paint for ground?
