Ground locations in the cab...

[terd ferguson]

Where are the gound locations in the cab? All I can think of at the moment is the headlight switch and the fuel sender. Are there others? The reason I ask is because I got a factory style wiring harness that is very complete. Complete except for there are no ground wires included. And being that my truck was so far from stock wiring wise, it would help to know the stock ground locations so I don't miss one.

Thanks in advance for the help.



Oh, and by the way, if you've followed my saga, here's a little update. I finally got everything wired up. It took a while, but I went slow making sure everything went where it was supposed to. Went to start it up and the battery was no good. I got a new battery and new cables and tried to start it. Got sparks under the hood. WTF? Turns out the positive battery cable was getting in the way down on the starter (the plunger was hitting the battery cable instead of the button on the starter). Fixed that and tried to start again. No spark at the coil. I thought I had fried the previous coil before the rewire due to crappy factory/altered wiring and possible resistor bypass. So I got a new coil, points, and condensor for just in case. Still no fire to the coil. Finally traced it to the wire coming out of the dizzy going to the negative terminal on the coil. Something was interrupting the connection there at the insulator on the dizzy case. Got it fixed and got it to fire up and got a spark under the dash. Oops, I forgot to tape up a couple of wires I didn't use as they were incompatible (the harness has wires for electrical temp gauge and I have stock mechanical, my horn is not yet hooked up because I don't have any horn guts in my steering wheel, etc.).

Finally, I got everything buttoned up (I think) but it got too late to start it up and go for a ride. And I want to make sure everything is grounded properly in the cab, under the hood I'm good to go as far as grounds. No more sparks is what I'm hoping for. So untill tomorrow....And thanks again.
