[DML] List of Grounds

["birdwell77095" <birdwells@xxxxxxx>]

I composed a list of grounds months ago. The list was collected from different comments on forum(s). I'm posting for those who need such a list. It's not necessarily complete. Bill might be able to chime in with more as he is very knowledgeable on them.


List of Grounds
1. Right side of the radio / A/C metal bracket (dash). Need to remove the center console to get to them.

2. Passenger side, right behind the parcel shelf wall. Need to remove the parcel shelf wall to access them.

3. Passenger side, Ground going to one of the bolts near the Trailing arm (not the trailing arm bolt itself).

4. Passenger side, Ground strap going from the engine to a bolt on the engine mount.

5. Drivers side, grounds going to bottom bolt that holds the ignition resistor to the metal bracket.

6. Single ground going to the bolt that holds the Vacuum advance solenoid to the throttle body.

7. Front of the car - at the mounting point of each radiator support brace. On page 1-3-1 of the parts manual the brace is parts ID #1. The bolt where it attaches to the frame provides grounds for much of the front of the car (lights, horns, etc.) There are ground points on both of the braces.

8. Passenger side from the frame (directly below the jump start lug) running up to a stud in the harness box.

9. Passengers side, on the forward side of the intake manifold, with a red heat shrink & blade connector. This one comes from a harness & if unplugged causes the Lambda system to not operate correctly.

10. Drivers side, under the parcel shelf with the ECU mountings & harnesses.

11. There's a connector with about 9 terminals, one is ground, that's parked inside the washer bottle cover. But it's not technically a "ground point". But it does ground much of the dashboard area! The black cover with the bottle inside it that's held on with way too many rusty screws.  You can usually pull the cable out and get to the plug without taking the cover off. Carefully pull out the grommet that's right next to the cover.
