Just a note of caution if using an analog meter-
When measuring resistance they typically apply "backward" voltage- positive to the black test lead and negative to the red test lead. I suspect that all digital meters aren't "backward", but don't know for sure.

Back to your problem- if you leave the battery ground cable connected and disconnect the positive cable, what resistance do you measure from the positive cable to ground? Knowing this resistance value might give a clue about what items might be responsible. Also, if this value varies with movement- of wire harnesses, bouncing of car, etc.- that would be a clue.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
