    would the hookup of a timing light to the #1 plug wire be another example of this? :yup:

    Is the hose a silicon rubber? Maybe it will conduct electricity if it is.

    I have silicone wiper blades, and will try it...

    My maverick has a new shiny rubber hose, smooth to the touch, and I get 10.5 volts through it (14.0 to a ground).

    My 05 dodge truck has a dull rubber hose, feels rough to the touch (stock hose), and it only shows 5.0 volts.

    I think it is a high silicone rubber, cannot prove it, but that is my gut feeling.

    Also, no voltage from the battery hot to the tires...:hmmm:

    Disconnect the battery, then check for continuity between the termial and the hose.

    Interesting you say that, cause the deeper I pushed it into the rubber, the stronger the voltage...

    As the rubber dimpled, more of it contacted the probe giving me a stronger reading...
