Next Install the removed I I batrery terminal in the battery bus to complete the circuit. If the voltmeter reading is not more than one volt, then the wiring system is free from grounds. Provided a ground does exist In the system, it can be confined to any one of The circuits by removing the fuses one at a time until the abnormal reading on the voltmeter drops.
