Re: i pulled all the wires out of my coil pack connector

i fixed that one, but now i have a new problem, i hooked up my battery for the first time since i put my engine in and i have the weird headlight problem. when the switch is off, i hear a clicking noise, when i turn it to parking lights it stops, and the headlights go up, but one light is on, and the other three are dim, and they all blink in unison. when i turn the switch to on, the clicking noise starts a again, and the lights click back down like super slow....any ideas?

I had a problem like that on the trans am. The other lights are dim because it is grounding through them. The clicking is prob a headlight motor is stripped. The reason one was on for me and the other 3 was dim was the harness on the pass side was coroded. I had to re-splice in the wires.

Where is this "ground Strap" you have located ? is it connected to anything ?

its totally not connected at either end. its seperate from everything else. i just went and looked, and the thread i used to pull the engine shows one to disconnect. if you look at the fuse box, from the front of the car, i think its the one connected to the body where the brake lines go down. where would the other end go?

yes i know that one. hmm.. not sure where the other end goes to. I know on my ls1 it bolted to the actual engine block.

that would make sense, seeing as the main fat ground from the battery grounds to the block. ill go attach it somewhere and see what happens.
