Find ALL the grounds! LS1 F-body
 
Whelp...since most of our beautiful ladies are soon to be or already are TEENagers, sometimes things get loose, dirty, rusty, etc. I think I'd be good to have a comprehensive list of where all the ground wires are. A good thrashing on all your grounds is always a good start when trouble shooting those pesky electric gremlins. :mad: I'll start w/ my fave:

UPDATED:
#1: Back of passenger side cylinder head.
#2: Passenger side of block.
#3: 3 ground wires on the back of the drivers side head.
#4: under the bracket for the air box assembly. (can cause all kinds of light problems)
#5: cluster of ground wires on the lower ds pillar, close to the door pushbutton for the interior light.
#6: Grounding strap from just behind alternator. (PS fluid just loves to reek havoc in that area)

Thanks for the helpful post.

Would anyone happen to know where the ground wire from the stereo head unit is connected? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Just knowing that it isn't grounded to a cylinder head clears up an issue for me. Thanks.

Are there any good grounds in the trunk area or do you have to just make your own?

Was perusing my ancient cam-swap pics... inside of driver's side frame rail... under the OEM location for ABS controller (?) block.
