Make sure you scrap any paint off around the hole for the bolt that could cause an intermitent ground problem. Don't worry, it wont rust plus it's hidden. It is very important though. Bad or improper gounding is deff. more then half of the problems encountered when troublshooting a fresh installation that isn't working rite.
If you work up the bottom of the door frame and pull the cover/kick panel cover off you will see a bracket with 2 or 3 bolts in it that have a couple wires each bolted to it. This is a very good ground to use if you can reach it

I found a wiring diagram and there is another ground point in the same place on the driver's side. It was painted under where the ground bracket contacts the frame. They must rely on the ground path going from the bracket to the bolt head and then through the threads. But I will take the paint off as you suggested to be sure.
