I need help! Interior wiring ground???
I need help! Interior wiring ground??? I could have swore there was a ground wire on each side of the dash but now I can't find any but the driver side. There is supposed to be a ground on the pass side right? There is a bolt there for a ground at least I thought thats what it was for. I was testing the wiring and put the key to the on posisition and the gauges are acting funny, the green lights for the turn signals are lit up, there is a light somthing ASR, the millage light is dim, and there is a buzzing from a black box under the dash, When I roll the interior light but up and down the buzzing changes and the lights on the dash change. 
. I hope I am just missing a ground and hope I can find it if so. Is there a ground on that side?

The one on the right (passeger side) was the ground that was directly off of the blower motor from the HVAC system...

sounds like you some how wired the buzzer into your dimmer supply, the dimmer wires are brown and have a junction (5 or so wires butt-connected together) in the loom behind the gauge cluster, at least on my car...

How many grounds are on the driver side?
The box that is buzzing, I don't think its supposed to buzz.
Also I don't have any of the engine wires hooked up only the grounds are grounded from the engine harness. The engine is not in the car now. The PCM is hooked up.

First off, do you mind if I ask what you did so far? Did you rewire anything or just cut circuts out? If you rewired anything what?
I will go out and double check, but I think there were 2 ground wires going to the driver side dash support bolt. there was a ground wire junction (6-8 black wires butt-connected) in the bottom loom, about the area behind where the HVAC controls were, did you touch that?
*** EDIT ***
Yeah there are 2 on the driver side post...

I cut out the abs, AIR, EGR, radio wires, HVAC and I am sure there is something I am forgeting. I moved the under the hood fuse boxes to inside the glove box. I redid the headlight wires so they run under the fenders and are hidden.

That was it. It was the drivers side. There was 2 on the drivers side and I missed one. I dug around in there and heard it hit the cage and found it.
Thanks for the help!
