For some reason, the following detailed response did not "reflect"... Resending... 1) There is NO GROUND in an automobile. There is a return plane that effectively ACTS as a ground if you choose to look at it that way. 2)

Yes, The negative wire should be connected to the place where the negative battery wire is bonded to the chassis or body of the vehicle - and not directly to the battery. You should also fuse it. Advice to do otherwise applies only to ancient vehicles, and you can conclude that the

Hi Vic, Just wondering, what is the probability that the ground cable would become either partially or completely disconnected? In the unlikely event this might happen, simply put an appropriately rated fuse in the ground line, in addition to the one in the positive voltage line. 73, Bob

I would like to echo the recommendation to NOT use the existing vehicle wiring for a number of reasons. While you can likely "get away with it" on a 10W rig (if you don't mind playing Russian Roulette with the quality of the grounds, noise makers on/near the circuit, et al.), it is my
