When I rewired my brakes I ran a pair of 10 AWG wires from the pin box back to a busbar that I placed near the axles. From there I ran individual pairs to each drum.
Did that on my '85 Wilderness. Was really surprised to find that the single wire running thru the axle feeding the other two brakes was only 18 or 20 gage, the rubber insulation was hardened and cracked and the wire was turning black.
Grounding is so important, a poor ground causes many electrical problems and seems to be the last place we look to solve the problem, it should be the first thing you check.
Had a Chevy Corisca once, and one time it wouldn't start. So started checking all the wiring, spark plug wires, etc. etc., happened to notice a connection block with black wires going to it that seemed to be a bit corroded, sprayed some Aero Kroil on it, started right up.
