no idea. I installed the same 200a with the N3135 and did not connect the ground (per the instructions). Everything worked fine - and I later hooked up a separate 12v supply for accessories and all worked fine. I would disconnect it and check again.
I made a set of half doors for my HMMWV out of 1/4" 6061 - used hard door hinges and some paddle latches - see here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170089-Thinking-about-making-some-half-doors
