Re: can some body show me some pics

Draw a mental picture of a line between the thing you want to ground and the - terminal on the battery. Then create an electrical connection between that picture on the the vehicle. The - terminal is usually connected to the fender nearby with a small wire. The big cable is to run the starter. From there, all the electrical connections to get to the load need to be good.
When a vehicle is new, there's no rust so things work fine. As time goes by things deteriorate.
