Hi Tyler,

Am I misunderstanding your question in reply #6 as to ain't right or is it?

1. The starter cable post is directly connected to the battery negative(-) post through the negative (-) battery cable; hence the starter cable post is negative(-) or as some call it, "Hot".

2. The steering column is bolted to the chassis frame & should be grounded (+) because the battery positive (+) post is connected to the same grounded (+) frame.

3. If one checks multi-meter DC voltage from the (-) starter cable post to the (+) steering column, (& if one has both (-) continuity to the battery & (+) continuity to the battery between these (2) verification points), one should get a DC voltage reading between the (-) starter post to the (+) steering column which is similar to that when testing the (-) battery post with the (+) battery post.

4. In other words, a DC voltage reading between the (-) starter post & the (+) steering column should be normal.
