    I have a new motor installed, can this be caused by a bad or broken ground strap?

    I can tell you from experience that a bad or loose ground can cause all kinds of wierd problems. I was in Car Audio and Security for 13 years and saw my fair share of weird ground issues. I have also seen corroded grounds under the strap play havoc too.

    Check all your grounds make sure they are all tight and clean.
