I agree with jmeckle and Tom. Not trying to be disagreeable but poor ground will cause this problem and it will only happen when the starter is in use. I never was much into test meters. I like the way that jmeckle describes how to test the problem in post number 4. Some don't have test meters.

I think that the guy in post number 2 meant that if there was gas in the floor that sparks from the starter switch rod could cause a fire. Its not likely that anybody would pour gasoline in the floor unless it was accidently.
