My crane's load cell readings kept drifting for weeks

I finally tracked it down to a bad ground connection in the cab that got corroded from all the rain we had last month. Swapped the wire and now the numbers are rock solid. Has anyone else had ground issues mess with their sensors?

Always wrote off ground issues as amateur hour until it happened to me with a load cell last winter.

Oh man, load cells are the worst for that. Had a similar thing with a scale that would only act up when the humidity changed, drove me nuts trying to find it lol.
