Hey I know topics about "alternator whine" has been beaten to death. I have a pretty straight-forward question.
I had a slight alternator whine that I isolated - it was coming from the Head Unit. I tried to re-ground the HU in several different areas with the same result.
I finally grounded it to the battery and the whine was gone. So my question this, since I'd rather not run another line all the way from the battery through the firewall is there a more practical solution to this?
I'm going to try re-grounding the battery itself, but short of that is there anything else I might try?
If not I'll just ground the HU directly to the battery, but I'd like to use that as a last alternative.
Thanks.
