Head lamp body (earth) Dash board Chassis frame Negative cable earth connection. Potential. 11.9 volts. 11.8 " 11.6 " 11.6 " 11.4 " 11.35 " 10.6 " 10.3 " 0 " 0 " 0 " 0 " Total drop. 1.6 volts. We cannot account for the difference between this and the previous result, but we think there may have been a bad connection somewhere. In any case, these figures should be given preference.
