Cleaning grounds is a normal practice in the geo metro community. It made one heck of a difference to my Miata, and my Ranger was doing all sorts of weird things before I cleaned it's grounds, like trying to die when I turned on the turn signals. Restoring power and MPG is just one reason to do it.



I have no experience with those specific vehicles .

But I also was thinking that better electrical connectivity might result in the electronics being " happier " . Thus positively impacting their performance , and the vehicle operated more efficiently ? Better MPG ?

Kind of like , if the Wife is not happy , no one is happy . If the Wife is happy , every one is happy .
