The frame of a device is usually the supporting structure that holds the electrical device. The electrical code requires that the frame of any electrical device be brought down to ground potential. This is done with a ground wire taken from the frame of the device and connected to the service distribution ground. This is also classed as a bond wire. Now if a fault current occurs any where in the bonded system, the fault current will travel back to the distribution panel and trip the circuit breaker of the faulted circuit removing the voltage from the faulted circuit..

The frame is the best ground source on nearly all vehicles (assuming it uses a negative ground system, which is the most common type-negative post of battery is attached to the frame). If the frame can't be used, a metal part attached to the frame *may* be substituted, but always make sure to clean the attachment point to BARE metal, as paint or powder coating can act as an insulator, preventing a good ground connection.
