Re: [DML] Radiator Support Ground



Headlights are not grounded at the radiator support -- they go all the way back to the rear bulkhead bolt (via an inline connector under the windshield washer reservoir unfortunately).

There are seven wires on a stock radiator support bracket:
- Left fan
- Left capacitor
- Right fan
- Right capacitor
- Trunk light & washer pump (ganged)
- Fuel tank sender
- Filler neck

I've only posted this schematic about 1,000 times...: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/311857_266950950016829_1928382016_n.jpg

I know the fuel pump isn't, but to the best of my knowledge (which is limited in this regard) the headlights and fans are. Anyone care to enlighten me? I've ready in seperate messages now that just about everything is grounded at the back of the car - so what was the point of all that re-crimping I did on #3352? ;-)
