just to make a point

i wired up a car the other day

guy had not tightened earth strap bolt on the gbox all the way dont
bolt was only on 3 threads

while cranking the earth strap got hot and smoke sort of started


when hi amperage gettin used then i would asume this was a bad earth and made the earth wire get hot

this isnt theory or might not be true
but it did happen to me
so a bad earth can cause hot wires when load is hi like when cranking

It sure can! Normally the end with the loose connection will get hot first and then disapate the heat along the rest of the wiring.
