I'll have him check the grounds. They are under the hood near the
battery and go to the fender, at east they do on mine.

Re: 95' GC Laredo - Odd Power/Start Problem
The battery cable I think you're thinking of goes directly to the
engine block and almost never a problem, but I would like to reinforce
what Mike said, as the engine to body ground for the most part supplies
your headlights, blower, fuel pump, radio, ignition computers, goes
through that engine head to cowel connection, it's made of mesh, that's
designed to take vibration, but after bending that coat hanger back and
forth for ten years will be broken.

engine block and almost never a problem, but I would like to reinforce
what Mike said, as the engine to body ground for the most part supplies
your headlights, blower, fuel pump, radio, ignition computers, goes
through that engine head to cowel connection, it's made of mesh, that's
designed to take vibration, but after bending that coat hanger back and
forth for ten years will be broken.

Re: 95' GC Laredo - Odd Power/Start Problem
The battery cable I think you're thinking of goes directly to the
engine block and almost never a problem, but I would like to reinforce
what Mike said, as the engine to body ground for the most part supplies
your headlights, blower, fuel pump, radio, ignition computers, goes
through that engine head to cowel connection, it's made of mesh, that's
