[Roadsters] Eliza not working - recap

[Pat Horne]

Peter,

I believe you have ground problem. I believe the body is not grounded 
when the wire to the regulator mounting bolt is disconnected, hence, all 
the body-mounted items (lights, etc) do not work when the wire is 
disconnected.

The ignition problem probably has something to do with sneak paths that 
the ungrounded body provides.

 Run a #12 or preferably a braid from the body to the chassis and you 
should be set to go

Peace,
Pat.
