A bad ground connection is one of the most overseen and neglected electrical car problems.
Although it's very simple to fix in most cases, some symptoms mimic more serious car problems (a weak car battery, bad starter, bad alternator, faulty electric or electronic components, or else).
This often leads to unneeded and sometimes very expensive repairs that solve nothing.
