Actually, it sounds like the shop didn't attach the ground wire well enough, if you can find out where the wire terminates you may also find that there is paint between the terminal and the lug.

Anybody figure out why this thread is titled "On Deadly Ground"?
It's because if you pizz him off, he'll get you. You're supposed to tell him how smart he is so he'll go back in his shell.
