BTN fuse and earth

Hey guys

I have just discovered a earth on my main line on the main engine fuse box. I tracked it to the BTN thick green wire that runs to the side panel fuses.
If i pull the green wire out of x06 plug then I no longer have the problem.

Anyway I checked my gfs rx8, testing the same green wire at the side panel fuse box and detected earth, in fact on the bottom half of those fuses, same as on my car, yet when testing her main fuse box at the main 120amp fuse and no earth!

Weird

Also, the male spade terminal on the starter that connects to blue/red wire, whilst disconnected from said wire is detecting earth too!

Is that spose to happen?

Omfg! I retested gfs green wire today and no earth! Must've been on drugs yesterday, or lack of sleep and food.

Tested her starter male spade to fuse box and its earth so all g there.

Now to figure why my BTN is picking up earth from side panel fuse block? Driving me nuts.
