How to find a bad ground mike s 12-28-08  
I have a 97 holiday rambler endeavor the DS turnsignal and clearance lights are dim, after testing found out there is a bad ground. How would i go about finding it? There are so many wires it would take a long time to go through. Could or should i cut and run new grounds or find the bad and repair

Start at the batteries---ans on most rv's the white wire is the ground---there are many on the frame--at verious places-some under dash

Usually all the lights share the same ground. if you cant find it make another. first try tapping the housing metal with a grounded wire. if it lights you got it. if it sparks and no lights try plan B.

then just perminately add that ground.

thats what i was doing when i found a broken wire.. just striped it and addded a crimp eye then a self taping screw to the chassis.

works for me
