Description
The electrical components of the vehicle must be grounded to function properly. One of the most
important reasons for grounding is to protect the electrical components and vehicle from electrical
surges. The main ground stud completes vehicle circuits by serving as a return path for the flow of
current. Vehicle electrical components are either grounded directly to the main ground stud on the
side member (frame rail) or to the other ground studs located throughout the vehicle.
Electrical power is necessary for all the electrical components to function. Electrical power is
supplied to all the electrical components by power connections through cables and terminals.
