The PO of my '84 replaced the battery because "it wouldn't hold a
charge" and the new one seemed to go dead after about 18 hours-
obvious electrical leak somewhere.

After I replaced the hose from the right side cylinder head to the
T-piece near the rear heater after it blew (a daunting task requiring
you to snake your arms around a myriad of Digijet B.S.) I felt like I
had knocked something loose, and I was right.

Apparently, the PO had someone install this battery
cable-looking-thing to the transmission. Browsing through vanagon.com,
I found a bulletin about installing an auxilliary transmission ground
strap to alleviate a battery-draining problem much like mine. Trouble
is, knocking mine loose had no effect, better or worse.

Has anybody successfully solved a grounding problem like mine with
this method? Where does this jobby hook up to? Am I stuck driving a
GEO through the winter?

Thanks for your attention.
