Shoutout to the guy who told me to check grounds first on my '97 F-150

After three days of chasing a no-start issue and replacing parts I didn't need, I finally listened to that random commenter who said 'grounds, always check grounds first.' Found a corroded ground strap under the battery tray and she fired right up. Anyone else have a simple fix like this that saved you hours of headache?

Back in '09 I fixed a dead Taurus with a ten cent fuse.

@graceprice saved by a ten cent fuse lol. But a ground strap? That's a stretch.

My car's held together by zip ties and good vibes.
