Wire gage
Bought an after market gas sending unit, frame is rusty so i was going to run a ground wire up to the battery. Wondering what gage wire that should be. Also have a single 12 volt fog light on the front and need to know what gage wire that should be. Thanks for the help.

Re: Wire gage
You shouldn't have to run a seperate ground, pick a spot on the frame and make it bright. Grounds should be clean,tight,bright. Be sure you have a good ground from battery to motor and frame. A 12ga. Wire should be ok for the fog light.
Even modern cars can suffer from bad grounds, on my daughters car when she stepped on the brakes the car died, turns out the ground wire from the body to motor was broken. |
