## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the ground stud that retains the negative battery terminal eyelet to the engine block may be loose.  A loose battery ground wire may produce high resistance to current flow.  As a result, current may take an alternate path to ground through the radio suppression strap causing it to heat and potentially melt or ignite adjacent components.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the engine ground stud.  The radio suppression strap and adjacent components will be inspected for damage, and if necessary, replaced.
