Hello,
Is the negative pole of a car battery connected to the frame?

Where can I find on the net a schematic about the car basic electric
connections?
Yes, I have been searching it...
Thanks for your suggestions.

Sort of.  Most cars since about 1975 don't have frames.
The thick neg. wire attaches to the engine because of the starter amp draw.
The thin neg. wire attaches to a fender or brace.
For a general schematic, I've always found libraries to be very helpful.
They have books on cars.  Motors, Chiltons, Haynes, etc.
And what they don't have, they can get.
Except for Canada.
