Is the battery good?

Ground wires to check (on aircooled anyhow)

- Ground strap in the battery box
- Transmission to body ground, look for a short braided strap
- Engine ground, this is tucked down on top of the number 4 cylinder, a few
grounds come together here, and it's a good idea to have a wire that runs to
the body from this ground.  I'm not sure if it came this way from the
factory, but my van has a gfround wire there.
- Ground on the lip of the engine bay, at the back on the drivber side.  I
think this is the main ECU ground but I'm not sure.
- Ground on the front wall of the engine bay on the drivers side, near the
double relay and fuel pump relay. ( on my californai van anyhow)
- There's a ring of ground wires up front behind the fuse panel


Those are all the ones that should matter as far as I know.
