Ground wire meaning

Ground wire definition

The wire which goes from the negative post of the battery to the frame on negative ground vehicles. Another ground wire may be a thick wire or braided wire cable which connects the engine to the frame . Since many engines are rubber mounted, there may be no metal contact between the engine and the frame apart from the ground wire which may also be called the ground strap . In British terms, it is called "earth wire."
