@@ScannerDanneris this a main ground from the block to chassis/battery? Or a bad ground somewhere else? I’ve had my chassis ground do weird stuff but always wondered if a bad ground ina separate circuit would do the same thing..

Crazy stuff

That is crazy. Good stuff Professor.

Saving this to my playlist.

Rules of governing on parallel= adding another resistance on a parallel circuit, increases total current flow...it seems this is what's happening here, pump alone it will good when you add head lamps another load, ground path can't handle anymore due to current increases making the shared ground thats already loose or corroded gets hot, temperature affects current flow and this is the example.

Old Ford Truck had starting problem. Somehow the headlight switch is tied into the ignition system. Replacement of light switch fixed all the weird crap that was going on. 35 years ago so I don't remember how I figured that one out. Crazy things can happen.

Funny you say that becuse I had the same problem on a 1995 Ford F250 I w as so happy the switch was the fix

My father had a 53 ford you would have to pull the headlight switch out to start the car??

Thats wild 😂. Thats about as bad as my lawnmowers ignition being grounded through the headlights lol.

That’s wild I would have never guessed that could even be possible

Just don't drive at night 😂

Thats crazy. Thanks for bringing the weirdness.

Amazing this one is really different, it sure must be a corroded block ground, but that's my opinion😅 Thanks for sharing SD, STAY BLESSED🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Had headlights and blinkers cause a pickup to do all sorts of stuff. The dash had all the lights on. Traced to corrosion in fuse box.

I had the same thing. While signaling, while braking, and headlights. It was the alternator.

Check out the full case study linked in the short. Thanks!

First thought might be something to do with the alternator or maybe bad grounds.

lol awesome thanks for sharing

Although the bad ground title of the video explains it well, to be honest that would not have been my first thought. Just like headlights dim when a starter is used with a weak battery, the fuel pump may get less juice when lights test a weak battery, too. And this might be a first clue with a failing alternator, where the alternator can't keep up with high demand. I remember limping home one cold winter night like this with a bad alternator. Those wise enough to do further testing might show another clue, like voltage drop on the ground line. The bad ground could mess up alternator charging, so I can see how the unwary might get a new alternator by mistake! The take home message is not to have tunnel vision. It makes me wonder why some are so quick to call the alternator bad, without drop testing each side.

For sure! I'm hoping with time that people understand these shorts have the links to the original video they're pulled from and when they have questions or judgements lol that they'll start watching the full video first.

Crazy!

Well you could look at it this way .when ever you have to use any of those lights you probably should be Slowing down any how lol

Find the ground wire more than likely it’s dirty and not doing its job I clean mine with battery cleaner my car was not starting next day Evan with brand knew battery it took me a while to figure all the fuses I checked them all no dropping voltage so just for the hell of it I clean the battery cables real good tape them up cleaned all the grounds so far so good only when I put the air conditioner on does it get a little funny the ants go down but that’s normal but are you gonna 96, 4.6 with 160,000

i think short to grond in headlight wiring

Oh my God, the video was posted before 11 I really thank you for all the love from Yemen ❤

Chassis grounds rotted off, lots of that up here.

I think that's probably a weak ground somewhere, But i actually had a Nissan brought to me around 1 year ago with the same complaint but the cause for that was a burnt out tail light, some Nissans do weird stuff when there's something wrong with the tail lights 😵‍💫

trying to find a path to ground

Yep. Ground problems.

Just wire in a secondary fuel pump and tie it into the headlight switch, that way when you turn on the headlights it kicks on your secondary pump and makes up for the lost power, easy peasy

If his control sided systems like lights causing these misfires then most likely sounds like a load issue potentially a wire issues like an open or short ground.
