A continuity test only proves point a and b work and that there is no short if you go to ground ... We ground 12v dc on airframes . Cars aren't a big deal .. So the fact that you are gonna run a negative from the battery is really dumb, no offense, unless you got monster Earthquake amps pushing well over 200Amps, I pushed my car to 150 amps with stock battery and that's when my lights starting dimming

There will be voltage drops, so you agree. Then you call me dumb. Then you compare the riveted together body/frame of an air plane to the spot welded and glued body of a car. Maybe you should get some sleep, read both of our posts again and come back when you can form a coherent thought.

It's cool that your an avionics technician though. Where do you work? While we're sharing, I make my living as an electronics technician now but was a marine engineering technician for a bit over a decade before this.

That was back in my first car when I LOVED boom.
Hmm, I wasn't trying to say it wouldn't work, though I can see how that was what I communiticated. Of course grounding to the body will work, just not as effectively.
