    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    i added the new ground strap wire and ran the old one to a 2ndary location on block that was available (If 1 is good 2 must be better!). I removed the oval plug in the driver side rear door to help the door drain per @mikez71 . Hopefully these issues are behind me now. Thanks for all the advice!

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    I did not check this one but I cleaned both ends of the battery negative to engine block cable, the battery end of the positive to under hood fuse/relay panel, and both ends of the engine block to body flexible ground strap on driver's side under hood. It's been 5 trips with no issues. The...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    i think i will replace the battery negative cable to the engine block, since it seemed to have significant voltage drop (70% of allowable), and probably the block to body ground strap, which i would think should have like 0 resistance, out of abundance of caution...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    So I checked and cleaned the battery cable to the uh I removed engine to chassis strap on driver's side and cleaned all contact surfaces. I measured the resistance from end to end while of the car at 0.1 ohms. I charged the battery and then took it for a short test drive... No issues so will...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    Ummm, I just noticed something... my battery is 1yr old agm, but after cranking it to test the voltage drop last night, and noticing the battery voltage was a little low, i put it on charger this am... it read 12 v and 25% charge... could that be the actual root cause? I dont see how as the...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    Battery cables looked good, i didn't test before per the SB, but i cleaned stuff around the mega fuse (there was no arcing), and post cleaning the voltage drops were < 200mV... negative to the block was reading 130 mV, positive to the underhood buss electrical center was 50mV during cranking w/...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    I looked at that strap and it LOOKS ok... Maybe a little dusty. I did not check continuity yet... Tomorrow

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    Hopefully gonna try testing the cables from the battery today. One odd thing i have had is my driver side rear door fills up w/ water when it rains, i wonder if it can get high enough to have damaged something electrically ... windows and locks work fine so I think its low probability...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    It's got chrome side mirrors, non standard suspension Thanks for sharing this. Spent this am looking, decided to run sister wires alongside the ones I pictured as I felt they were most likely. Did not solve the issue. I couldn't find anything else that looked suspicious. Beginning to wonder...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    Can I run a sister wire alongside wires at sections that were stretched instead of replacing a whole harness (if it's $$$)?

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    Well, I'm afraid you were right. It came back again pulling the boat last weekend. This time the door locks all toggled lock-unlock continuously for a minute, the gages all swept back and forth, the transmission bucked...I pulled over and shut the vehicle off. After a minute I restarted it and...

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    I was worried that maybe damage is done and that fault might return... Fingers crossed, but I will look at it next time I get it on a lift..I will post pic of the wire near the mount if I remember :) how do I turn on notifications when someone replies or comments on my thread?

    Driver side motor mount - how much movement is too much

    I did not. Battery was new AGM in 2024 and I cleaned contacts then. There is a wire harness on the bottom of the engine that runs close to drivers motor mount and it did look a little contorted. I will have vehicle on a lift at the end of the month to replace shocks and struts, and will look...
