Replacing a suspected ground strap is not proof that every return path is now sound or that the original diagnosis was correct. Keep the measurements that justified the replacement and what changed afterwards.
Revisit the evidence
State which strap was replaced, connection preparation and whether the symptom improved temporarily. A workshop should test the relevant paths under the actual fault conditions rather than assume all grounds are equivalent.
Do not add multiple improvised straps as a substitute for diagnosis. Some circuits use defined reference paths that require specific treatment. An enquiry should include the original scan and current symptoms, allowing the specialist to distinguish an unresolved connection, another supply path and a genuinely separate controller problem.
