ground circuit

i'm trying to find the ground circuit above the driverside foot panel. somewhere near the steering column. does anyone have any pictures of this particular ground circuit?? i have a feeling this has something to do with my drain and low voltage while driving

My car is gutted right now, so I should be able to find what you're looking for . If you don't get any good responses by the weekend, I'll try to remember to get pictures.

ground is ground as long as you have a good contact. it doesnt matter where it is.

That's true, but if you have a ground point that your electrical system is relying on, and it is not a good connection, it will cause a problem. I think he's just trying to find out where this one is. I'll look around in the area of the steering column and see what I can find.

Hi 13BstreetportFB - I've attached a few pictures of the ground I found up above the steering column. Based on what I can see, and based on what the wiring diagram shows, I believe this is the only factory ground point in this area. I hope this helps.

thats correct as in being the only ground in that area. The stock ground wires aren't the greatest.
