just read an article about why ground is crucial and it made me want to clean or replace my ground cables
my car: 01 integra has 3 main grounds: engine, transmission and thermostat
the ground cable to the thermostat is from the ECU.
does the battery need to be disconnected before cleaning the grounds?
ESPECIALLY the one ground wire from the ECU? i was planning to use a portable wire wheel to clean up the corrosion and those can create sparks when contact is made and im scared if there is a spark, it might fry/damage the ecu lo(if battery is connected)l. I dont know much about electricity and how it works.
I dont want to disconnect the battery if i dont have to, my radio settings and audio settings are set up to my likings and it took a while to set up.
