<VV> GenFan Light goes on...but...

Hey guys,
Actually, those 3 or 4 small braided grounding straps were only on the cars  
that came with a radio... their only purpose is to help stop static from the  
engine electrical system... look at a factory issued "radio delete" car and 
you  will see... and the small ground straps came with the radio kit if you got 
one  from the dealer.
Check any year "accessory installation manual" and you'll see there in the  
instructions.
The battery cable should have a small (12 GA?) wire coming from the end  that 
attaches to the body... check that as well.
Good luck!
Lonzo

This  sounds like a ground issue -  the engine is grounding through the   
hand brake cable.   Check that you have good ground connections   
between the  engine, body, and  battery.

I agree with  Bryan--check the braided ground straps that provide the ground  
 
between the engine (isolated by the trans and rear engine mount) and  the  
body.  I had a clutch cable overheat once due to bad  ground--though I never  
quite 
figured out how it became  energized.
