Grounding the Electrical System: Part 37 – RAM Promaster 2500 Van Conversion

Hey All. Welcome to the next episode in our van build series. Today we are finally starting to put together our electrical system…and the first thing we will need to do is properly ground the negative bus bar to the vehicle chassis. This is needed to keep the electrical system working smoothly and safely.

We start by discussing why grounding is even needed….and what it really means. The we will take you step-by-step through the tools we use and the procedure we follow to properly ground the house electrical system.
