i stopped at a red light in the rain when i took off the tires slipped and when it caught traction again i heard a thud like something broke and then a metal scapping road type noise but nothing is hanging from the car it still drove fine all the way home tho i have a 1998 dodge neon dohc 2.4 swapped if tht helps any and if anyone has a grounding diagram can you send it to me just ask for the email address

 

Are you looking for the grounds in the bay? One is from eh PS bracket to the strut tower, another one runs from the battery to he frame. And a big boy runs from the battery to he starter bolt. No idea what the noise was. Maybe a belt slipping because it was wet, possibly something in the trans.

 

yes thank you but i was more looking for the guages of each wire thts were i have my grounds but for some reason im having charging problems and im positive its bc of grounds i had a ground melt on me so i changed it to a thicker ground and now my battery isnt charging its acting like my alternator took a **** but the alternator is fine and if it helps at all i have a ps and a/c deleted car (did not used to be tht way until i did the 2.4 swap tho)

 

All you need is the big starter ground which is around a 2-4gauge. one or 2 battery to body ground at least 8 gauge, and one more engine to body ground on the strut tower, I use 4 gauge but I am sure 8 gauge would work. I would check the alternator wiring to make sure nothing down there is melted. Clean tight connections as I am sure you know. When people relocate the battery they use one battery to body ground (2 or 0 gauge), and two body to motor ground.
