I always check the coolant with a volt meter, and have seen as much as 6 volts from the coolant to ground. If a flush and fresh coolant wont eliminate the voltage, I'll add a ground strap from the radiator to the body and engine. In stubborn cases, and with plastic radiators, I'll add 'Napakool', a coolant additive until the volt meter tells me to stop. Just my unrequested 2 cents worth.... Ben
