So everything is getting a charge... Tranny, valve cover, bolt that holds the headlight, etc... Everything.

We know something has to be grounded out on something, but what?!

Any ideas what can be causing this?

I would go at it from the other direction, disconnect all power leads and fuses and reconnect them one by one to see what's grounded out.

I may have to try that.

Do you know all the power leads?

I have the manual, but I don't think it has anything that specifically details power leads.

For some reason when I used a continuity tester on the fuses and the fuses for the lights were not powering the tester... So I don't know if something is up with the headlights and a wire is getting grounded or what.

I know... I tried my old batter that was good. It didn't work though. Also one of the fuses wasn't good, so that's why it kept grounding out I guess. Makes me irritated because I checked all that multiple times and nothing, but oh wellglad its good now .

As for the turbo... Let's just say it pulls harder at 21psi then my 9turbo on 28psi, oh I'm still on 93 and that 9turbo@28psi was on e85

Smiles baby
