So i've been having grounding issue's with my car and my friend suggested a distribution block because I have so many wire going to my battery. I can't seem to find one online. I want a one where one wire goes to the + and one wire goes to the - and i can connect wires to the block. Anyone know where I can buy this?

Hmm.. okay. I'm not sure that's going to cure grounding issues though. How many wires do you have coming off your battery? Like a bunch hanging off the positive terminal? Got pics?

Grounding issues are usually due to corrosion on grounding points, wires that have come loose or which have neglected to be reattached after maintenance, stuff like that.

Incidentally, your question lead me down a tangent which ended in me buying this:

I've long had plans to relocate the Corrado's battery to the hatch, and finding a distribution block with a built-in voltmeter was enough to make me pull the trigger :D

I have a bunch of wires coming from the positive and negative. I will get pictures tomorrow. I also wanna try and find the grounding problem. The car is going to the dealer on Tuesday for the lower control arm recall so maybe they can find it if I don't.
