Only thing I don't have is running the 4 gauge alternator wire to the battery per the Powermaster instructions, and a ground from the battery to the body. My car is a unibody and I do have the battery grounded to the frame.


That sounds goofy as all get out right there!


In all my days -- I've only ever seen ONE 12V+ and ONE 12V- POWER to the battery.... all else marked GND or 12V+ are connected to engine ground or to a relay or somewhere - but I've never heard or read where there should be more than just the power source connected to the battery. Of course -- it's so hard to diagnose what's going on without being there and seeing first hand etc -- but I'd certainly be checking your power connections and making certain you've done that part of the installation correctly.
