Yes I never really heard why we had positive ground systems years ago or even why we switched.
What ticks me off is when someone says they have to jump a positive ground system that you have to reverse the jumper cables. When I tell them you hook pos to pos and neg to neg they want to argue. Duh!! So I let them hook it up the way the think and wow do they see sparks!!
One thing to remember when jumping any pos or neg ground system always hook the batteries up to like terminals.
Ground doesn't always mean negative either!!
When disconnecting a battery always disconnect the ground cable first. Be it Pos ground or Neg ground.
The reason for this is you are more likely to touch the frame somewhere when disconnecting either cable but if the ground is hooked up and you are on the opposite battery post and touch the frame with the wrench, the wrench will turn red.
If you're disconnecting the ground cable first and the wrench touches the frame no sparks will occur.
