I don't know what's up with Jordan's ground wire problem. That was two years ago.

You need to be more specific.

"I'm having this issue as wall" doesn't tell me anything. Do you want help?

Jordan probably hooked his battery ground to the car or truck frame not the engine block. So when he cranked the starter, which can pull over an hundred amps, the negative connection from the starter had to go through the little wire that grounds the frame. Not big enough to ground a starter.

Battery grounds have to go the engine block. Period.
