Electrical Problems

[Turbo Saleen]

Hey guys, I had my battery relocated to my trunk. Lately I've been having probs with it starting. So I bought a battery and it still did the same ****. Barely turned the car over. Is the starter taking a dump? The battery is grounded to the body in the trunk, should I ground it someplace else? I've been push starting the car ever since. Where and what should I check first?
Thanks guys.

You should absolutely ground the battery someplace else. Run the ground wire through one of the drain plugs in the trunk and connect it solidly to the uni-body frame. Grind the paint off the spot you choose. This should help solve your problem.

Thanks, I will try it this weekend. It's grounded to where the spare tire is right now. Thanks

Definitaly find a new ground, and be very careful that your are not overheating your wiring now. If your are introducing alot of resistance into the wiring, heat is the end result.

Ok after a lil more research. I found out that when I turn the key all the way it turns over and stops, but when I only turn it half way it turns over and starts. Any ideas?

anymore ideas? Is there any testers I can get to help me out?
