It always comes down to a bad ground or not enough grounding, or to much voltage loss measuring at battery then at trunk,and if you c an afford it invest in a hair pin stator high voltage alternator something in the 300 to 350 amperage area, all the wattage you want at low rpm's

Also make sure use a drill with a wire wheel attachment to strip all paint and rust and get to shiny metal , and either use lock washers or drill a hole as and use those custom lockup washers that prevent any ground bolts from rattling loose just wire it right you should never need filters use at least 4 gauge ofc for most that's enough,if your system is bigger 2 or zero gauge may be needed no splices anywhere also and don't cheap out on your wiring install kit ok only use a good name I know there pricy but at least you will be able to enjoy it , instead of having your head in trunk everyday wire it right it's that simple thousands of videos online on how to do so if you end up with a bad wiring job ,it's nobody's fault but your own or your just plain lazy haa I seen guys who are it happens

Rob, I live west of your friend's house on Herbert St. on Lex Ct. I was at work (City of Ormond Beach) for the storm and didn't get home until Saturday. Do you have any footage of the Lex Ct area? My insurance is trying to tell me that Lex Ct didn't flood!

Hey Rob and Paula's aren't the only car that had that issue there was quite a few other ones that did too I got an old one Pontiac Grand Prix GT and that happened to me I got one out of a junkyard cheap and it's still working it also happened in Fords too my dad has a 04 f150 XLT lariat and it's happened to that one God at least three times but this last time it fixed it we think that hasn't acted up for quite a few years so hopefully it keeps working.

MAF has nothing to do with Traction Control (breaking sytem sensors) Tip you can clean a MAF sensor don't need to replace unless its not working at all and has been tested with a meter.

Hey haven't seen you for a while Rob nice to see you yeah great video as always the lineup was great lots of power on that first train I agree with some of the other people I think they are FEC I mean is moving power to higher grounds that's smart of them they don't want to lose any of their equipment yeah Rob you be safe I hope you evacuate cuz I think Daytona is going to get hit pretty hard that would be nice if you would post a little more often.

My 2009 lancer stereo cd mode can play discs only the sound is fuzzy like static on a tv. You know music is playing but its distorted. I used a commercial release cd from 2010's. Perhaps the player is not plugged in correctly. Perhaps it needs cleaning. The radio, aux both work. Speakers work. Any thoughts??

I'm not a mechanic but that makes no sense. A MAF sensor causing traction control issues seems crazy to me. I am glad it fixed your problem and thank you for posting this video and sharing it. But your fix to your problem is like going to a doctor for knee pain and he tells you to get a tooth pulled to fix your knee pain.

I installed a amp and JVC radio in my 71 F100 and it worked like a champ...no problem. I bought another exact set up for my 73 F100 and it whines and clicks like a mother. I disconnect the alternator and it still does it. The ignition wires are new, the distributor cap is new, the coil is new and for the truck with internal resistor, I checked the condensers all over and they are good. I put ferrites on all speaker wires and power and ground wires...the same. I put a noise reduction device on the radio power...still does it. Switched to the power wire to amp...still does it. I ran power straight from the battery and ground... still does it. I put a condenser temporarily on the coil...no change. I used the wire connections for the radio and amp and did the same on the other truck that works like a champ. I'm totally lost. I replaced ground wire...motor to body to frame, no change.
