Thanks for the reply! After some ninja Google work I found the ground location right behind the left rear quarter panel trim. It turns out the ground was as healthy as could be.
But there was high resistance, 3.6 ohms, between the loads and the ground so I checked different spots. The resistance seems to be in a connector C307. I’ll try fiddling with the pins or making a jumper wire to test the validity of my diag. Local Dodge dealer doesn’t seem to have connectors like this in stock.
Thanks again for your help!
Didn’t test the battery. He reports that it’s new but, like you said, it may mean nothing.
The guy’s truck is around 30 minutes away so I won’t make another trip out there unless he’s stuck. I already got the draw down from .34 to .10 so maybe that will keep him going. Didn’t even charge the guy (battery or owner 😉
Wow, funny to see my topic still in the mix. Here’s an update; I asked off flat rate and now am hourly for a little less pay. I have a guy I’m supposed to be shadowing but mainly I’m now doing oil changes, brakes, jumping in to help other guys. I’m definitely getting the hang of how they work here.
Short term goal is to get back to flat rate, maybe 6 months to 1 year. In the meantime I’m alright.
Thanks for the input.

These are neat/weird. My parents almost bought one in ’94 and I can remember my dad asking, “what’s under the hood?” An inline 5 turned sideways from the drive wheels being the answer, he got a little scared and bought the nicest Accord on the lot instead. In future vids, please expand on the engineering behind that engine layout and what you’ve seen in the field.

Good job! I tried and failed that guy last week. Took 2,7, and 8 all together. I’ll probably regroup and take A2 again in the spring. All I used was freeasestudyguides.com and it was a little lacking.

Love driving old cars. Loved having my old Fords. My ’62 Falcon had a 170 straight six with a three speed column shift. Because it was so light, the first gear was so low, and the springs were so soft you really felt like you were moving when you matted the gas from a light.
I truly miss the triangle-shaped wing mirrors. Those need to make a comeback pronto.
Also, we’re terribly over-regulated in the US. I would definitely be a buyer for a no frills, no extra, basic, new/old truck. Just start repopping the 1985 Toyota pickup for $5000 and I’ll buy it tomorrow.

Welcome to the board!
I can personally vouch for the Accord and Integra. I’ve owned both as a young driver and will say they’re pretty much unbeatable for that kind of duty. Both cars will let you get away with a little less maintenance. The Integra is a very fun and zippy car to drive and Accords with a 5-speed aren’t too bad either.
Both cars have huge fan clubs and ETCG is a Honda tech so you’re in a good group here if you need DIY repair info for either car.
Good luck on your car search.
