Ground Strap

A ground strap is an electrical component that grounds the engine to the chassis. This is done so that electrical components connected to your engine, like your alternator and distributor, can use it to complete their electrical circuits. A broken or corroded ground strap can cause your starting, charging, and ignition systems to work poorly, or not function at all. You may also notice your battery going dead more often than it should, and dimming lights due to a lack of charge. A ground strap from O'Reilly Auto Parts can help to resolve those problems by providing a grounding path to the frame of your vehicle. We carry ground straps for most cars, trucks, and SUVs.
