[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 193402, member: 1928"] Pretty hard to know for sure without a model / pic of the bus bar, but it sounds like it might be that all the connections (screws) are common to whatever lead you have connected. In other words, they are all either Pos or Neg depending on which lead from the battery is connected. That could be why they worked when you took the grounds directly to the battery, because you left only positive on the bar. That's the way mine are, and I run one for positive leads and another one for grounds. If that's the case, and you have to buy a second "bus bar," you might want to just get a fuse panel for the positive side and kill 2 birds with one stone. [/QUOTE]
