I don't think I explained my problem well enough....
I do have a braided ground from the frame to the battery. My problem is that my battery is draining over a couple of days because of a slow drain. Something is going to ground somewhere. What I'm doing to see if I can fix the problem is taking all the fuses out and disconnecting each circuit and measuring the voltage between the neg. battery post and ground, trying to find the circuit that is shorting to ground. Right now I'm getting 12.38 volts (the battery is low right now or it would probably be more) from the neg. battery post to the frame across my cheapo meter. I've checked every fuse and connection I can find other than the starter and solenoid. The only one that has any affect on the voltage that I can find is if I take loose the 2 positive red wires that are going to the firewall terminal. But, even then it only drops down to about 4 volts instead of zero volts like I would expect if that was eliminating the short.
I'm totally baffled by this problem. I just can't seem to find the short. I'm wondering if it's possible that somehow the starter solenoid or starter itself is letting something go to ground. Is that possible?
Thanks for your patience----mine is wearing thin with this problem.
