did you sand off the paint before you attached those grounds????? if you didnt, you will be getting some unwanted resistance from the paint ;-)

he wouldn't get a connection at all, if he didn't... thus leading to no ground at all.

Why don't you run some of them under the carpet, in the middle of the car?? you can't really NEED access to that kinda wiring, often. |

Believe it or not you can still get a ground without sanding the paint just not as good if the paint had been removed. That is one cluster eff!

Yes I've done it before with a unpainted, self taper. Works all the time for small voltage stuff, but I wouldn't recommend doing that on bigger thing ie DVD player, radios, amps....etc.
