I'm having a grounding issue after a fuel leak. I swapped my injectors out but I forgot a shim for a fuel line and it began to leak out so I turned my truck off and began to clean the mess. When I came back everything inside was off. It leaked from the driver side so it didn't fall onto anything like the starter. I checked the battery and it has good power 12.9 but no ground. It's all connected too. It doesn't arc or test as anything. The battery and alternator are only a month old too. Any ideas or suggestions it could be. Thanks. It's a 1994 Toyota 4runner 3vze v6.

 

Just what works if anything electrical ??

You have no electrical power at all ??

Check the fuses and fusible links see if any are open.

What if anything did you disconnect ??

Battery Terminals clean and tight??

Forgetting a copper crush washer (not a shim ) leaking gas should not have caused a electrical failure . Then strange things happen

 

what exactly does that mean?? lol

 

Nope it acts as if it was a completely dead battery but the battery work, I used a power probe to roll up my windows. I don't think it has a fuse to cause that . I only disconnected the battery but it ran after I plugged it in. Tight as can be. Yeah a crush washer.

 

I have this test light that detects voltage and ground. I got no ground reading on the ground side.

 

Have you pulled the negative battery terminal off cleaned that and the grounds going to the engine block and the inner fender bolt.

Cleaned meaning down to the bare metal

Battery posts and terminals should be bright and shinny

 

Is this a "test light", like a Power Probe, that you first connect to Positive and Negative battery terminals? Then when you press the probe to something, a color light tells you "12v" or "ground" or not connected? Are you saying that the "ground" light doesn't illuminate when you press the probe to the negative terminal of the battery (which terminal is where the black wire from the probe is connected)?

 

Get a multi-meter. This is your friend....
