I have an 1982 chevy pickup that I am installing a rewire kit on and wanted to ask if it is common to have power to a ground wire when i turn on the headlight switch.

If you have a load's ground circuit that isn't grounded back to the battery, you will see battery voltage on it when you put power on that circuit. You will also see power on a load's ground if the ground is controlled by a relay or transistor of some module and the relay or transistor is not completing the path to ground.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
