I couldn't have imagined it either until I start to visualize every part of the drivetrain and how its attached to the body of the car. One of the few places without rubber is the brake caliper to the brake lines (steel braid) and it happened to touch the rear suspension. I would have problems believing it without seeing it in person. Now if I didn't replace the rubber lines with steel lines, this probably would not have happened....

Cool YO! Always check yer grounds!!!

Legoland, only you would do that, and catch it! See why I appreciate all your help!?

I am glad you didn't lose the car, only brake fluid.

Wow... I did that same thing once. Actually worse, didn't connect any of the grounds at all and fried a DME computer.

Tis the reason I keep one early, one late (n/a) DME, one automatic DME, along with a set of turbo DME/KLR for spare
