Yeah, I think it was Jerry who pointed out the positive and negative buss and that everything grounds to the frame on the TM and TV.
Started to make sense that if there was a bad ground it would cause the low voltage, but was not obvious to me at first; especially that it would be the TV.
Not sure which ground it was on the Avalanche, but I think I fixed them all (including the broken strap to the hood).
It was pretty rusty on the underside, not surprised if there was a bad contact there.
And like you said, I found the broken breakaway cable so I guess it was all worth it.
Thanks again for all the help guys.
