Sorry this is a double post, I posted in the sticky thread as well but i thought this might be answered faster.

I have a Chevy S10 from 1988. The CD player is a VJC kd-lh810. I was trying to test my grounds to see if they are ... good or bad. I hooked up the voltmeter to the ground i had on my stereo and then the positive probe onto my live lead. The volts read 14+when the car was on but then went down to no power when I turned on my headlights. I then tried hooking the ground up to my parking break (which i assume is attatched to my chasis) and tried the same thing with my power lead. This time the voltage did not drop. Is the ground bad that i had hooked up to my stereo?

It sounds like it might be doesn't hurt to try to move your radio ground somewhere else to see if it fixes it
