Electrified frame, dead batteries!!!

By any chance did you happen to have a trouble light in the area that you was, inspecting? Also with the right conditions, some people are a bit more sensitive than others, and can actually feel 12 volts dc, if they are damp or sweaty. Most of the electrical problems in autos that I have encountered over many years, have been corroded connections which translates into bad grounds, or open connections. Also a bad battery can cause good batterys to discharge if the isolation diodes happen to short, this actually happened on my old pace arrow. Someone earlier in this post mentioned to remove the battery, connection and I personally believe that's a great start. If you don't have a multimeter, and a test light, it would be a great time to get one, and if you can find a friend that has a bit better understanding, offer him a beer (to be drank later), for his help. Understand about the never give up concept, I too, am a bit hard headed. Good luck, your bound to find the answer, and there lots of good folks here to help. Geo
