here is what this guy did

Read some stuff online and followed a suggestion to ground it closer to the tuner instead of the battery. That fixed the problem, so I electrical taped the ground cable nice and tight. Few minutes later, Sirius is dead again. Same voltage problem. Gave the ground cable a good squezze, and problem is solved again. I guess my question is, how do I get this cable to stay grounded so my satellite radio will work? This is driving me nuts! Thanks everybody.



here was his answer which i would think abvious to anyone


Get a ring connector and run it to the floor and take a self tapping screw and screw it to it



here is what he said to that

You're a genius, tried that today, and so far so good.

So how was his ground attached? taped to the floor?

yea! he taped it in place after he touched it to ground and it worked he just ran a few pieces of tape over it.......

oh good grief.

That's scary..
makes you wonder what other 'special' little things he has done.
