Your Electrons are in a state of oppression and yearn for freedom, 
they must be allowed a path to Mother Earth (chassis ground) and a 
return through the Big Battery in the corner.

In addition to crusty grounds there is also the problem with old wire 
getting well, old.

This can lead to high resistance and 'off' readings from instruments 
that rely on a certain value to report whats going on.

Dielectric Grease is you new best buddy.
