    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is there any way that you can protect those places that are known problems with grounding, such as the different places on the frame where grounding wires go, like putting any goop on them? Or is this just destined to be some type of unwanted nuisance?

Two words...DIELECTRIC GREASE. Not only promotes conductivity but displaces moisture. Two more words...great stuff, if it is a corrosion issue, dielectric grease will take care of the problem.
 
so i guess the routine is to a. separate the wiring to the frame. b. use fine sandpaper to clean the spots. c. treat with a dab of grease and reconnect tightly.
 
I had a dog and his name was BINGO! That should do you fine. While you're at it, it wouldnt hurt to dab a little on ALL your connection points, especially with wet nasty weather coming on. Will keep them shiney and clean come spring, and you wont have any electrical gremlins jump out at you when you go to roll her out that first sunny day :)

While the dielectric grease is a good idea for most of the grounding spots, thats not good enough for the path that provides the R/R ground.
Replace that with a dedicated wire from the R/R ground directly to the battery ground.

Its important enough that I made it my sig some time ago. :-D
