It's located on the side wall near the druver side fan below the fuse boxes and attaches to the bottom driver side of the motor

It's one of several needed grounds. Replace it with new.

In my 2002 ws6 I looked in my engine bay and traced the braided cable going towards the alternator bracket area where I can't see where it goes after that. Hope it helps.

Get a Taylor Braided Ground Straps #148014, it's a lot beefier, and less expensive than a stock replacement!

FYI. Taylor also offers a 8", and 18". The 8" is to short for that location, and the 18" is really longer than you'll need.

Here's the block mount location behind the alternator:
