Ground wiring

[Dragon]

Good morning

does anyone know where all the grounding points are on the stallion

Thank you

Dragon

Chuck I doubt if anyone but maybe Richard can answer that question. No wiring diagram specific to the Stallion has ever been released. We have always been referred to the 2007 Ford Ranger diagram. I'm sure there are several all along the frame.

If you are in doubt about a ground and cannot find the info you need You can check your bike for grounds with an ohm meter or quicker yet a test light

I found best if in doubt add more grounds

Connecting a test light to the positive on your battery

Any metal surface you touch with the pointed end of test light will light up if the system has a good ground

I hope this helps

One more thing, a good clean ground at the battery negative cable end is a BIG PLUS

use these type of washers for your body and frame grounds, clean the contact surfaces good before grounding with new hardware

Thank You

Richard said the only grounds were by fuse box frame, and ground wire by pcm .

That's interesting as I was told different? What about your battery ground or the ground behind the rear seat for the Air compressor, etc ? Tomg

 

[Dragon]

that's what he emailed me, I asked about the ground for the valve body, he didn't answer back on that question. isn't the battery ground on the frame by the fuse box? so please if you know of more grounds post where. that was my original question

Thank You Dragon

i added a ground from the battery through the trunk then added battery posts for the pos and neg terminals for jump starting or ECT.

 

[Jack Klarich]

The battery is the main ground

That said, more grounds are better

Ford used to ground the exhaust pipes

Their idea more is better

They were right

Voltage has a way of running thru bearings causing etching and premature failure

IMO I would ground every component to be sure ( IE anything electrical could have a ground wire run to the frame) OR better still if all possible return ALL grounds to the Negative post of the battery JMO

You could use this for a ground strop of your battery for more connections

Thanks guys

I am going to add a ground, I'm having problems with my air system and it just dumps the air and stays at zero so thought it was ground somewhere

thanks

Bad or no grounds cause all kinds of problems

Once you get them repaired, keep them clean and tight to keep your grounds secure

An extra ground strap from the battery to the frame can be a BIG plus

The heavier the ground strap the better

I had problems with the air bag system and I reversed the wires on the switch and it corrected my problem. Why ? But it worked for me. If that hadn't worked, I was going to switch the wires with the pedal controls to see if it was the switch. Those are easy trouble shooting ideas. Good luck.

Tom, before you reversed your wires was the pump not delivering air but bleeding it out instead? I wonder if reversing the polarity acts like a dump valve?

 

[tomg]

No, actually I couldn't get it to add pressure but it would release so I switched the wires and now it works. Don't know why but it works! If you call me , there are a couple of things I can explain to you about the Air system to test it. I'm not good about getting photos on the site but I can text it to you from my cellphone to show you what to look for.
