Al?
Are you actually trying to tell me the
chassis of your unibody vehicle develops a high resistance
path from major sheet metal components back to the inner
fenders?
No. Unibody or not, the battery's negative terminal has to connect to
the chassis somewhere. Corrosion can develop there. This happened to me
two months ago. ECM hums along just peachy until I started this old
animal. Battery voltage dropped and because a high resitive point had
developed at the point mentioned earlier, the voltage presented to the
ECM dropped below a value that would keep the ECM happy. So it rebooted
as soon as I stopped trying to start the car (and the terminal voltage
recovered). Other intersting stuff happens, too, but I'm sure no one
here is interested in that.
The only case of that I can think of is if Amtrak
split the rest of the body in half at a RR crossing!
Cute.
