[DML] Re: weird problem (electrical)

["theshovel1224" <theshovel1224@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you say "behind the radio" where exactly is this one?  Is it
shown in the parts manual anywhere?  I know there is a ground
connection on the right side of the radio bracket that requires the
removal of the center console, which grounds the radio & a few other
things.  Is this the one or is there one more "behind the radio" than
that one?
Thanks,

John Yeoman
