V1 Ground wires Part 6 Organizing the Main Harness

[marksdad]

In the video it states to take 4 ground wires and solder them together- 1 ground lug wire, fuel pump ground, coolant tank ground, and the fuse box ground. I cannot find the fuse box ground. Can anyone help me with where this wire comes from in the fuse box? I have no other cut ground wires that i can find to solder to the other 3.

Hello. See you are new to the forum, welcome. Working on wiring so have to assume you have a donor? If you post what your donor is, it will be easier to guide you to the correct location as there are differences in wiring from the base car to the SS/SC and SS/TC.

Pyro, what's the connection? I asked marksdad the question, but you provided an answer - even though his title doesn't state what donor he is using? I'm just curious and mean no offense.

All good. It's my dad working on my harness.

Pyro is correct - his project. I am helping im with the wiring. 2008 SS Turbo.

Ok, that makes sense now.
BTW, I am also a 'Marks-dad' (my last name) - which is what caught my eye with the post.

Might have figured it out. I have a black ground wire with a knot tied at the end. Came from video 4. Appears to be coming from the fuse box. It extends about halfway down the harness towards the BCM. Watched the rest of the videos and it is never mentioned. Is that the 4th ground wire that is referred to in video 6?

Probably so. There’s not many grounds (I think only 1) coming off the fuse box. You tie that in with the others back there. It’ll make more sense once it’s in the goblin. Adding grounds back there is easy, if you miss one.

I believe we have concluded in the past the video is referring to the intercooler pump ground for turbo cars (or an extra positive in the rear on other trims if you leave it like I did on a SC). I had the same question in the 'New Videos' thread.

Really though it doesn't matter, if you know it's a ground it'll end up tied into a ground loop and attached to the frame at some point anyway, so you can go ahead and add to whatever lug is convenient.
