Electrical 1988 Notch firewall ground location

[palacios289]

Good morning. Does anyone have a pic handy of the factory block to firewall ground location? specifically where it mounts on the firewall.

See that flat braided wire with the green screw head?
That is factory.

General! you are the man. Thank you. I did a google search and could not find a clear pic of the location. I am missing mine. I am having issues with a instrument panel that goes crazy with the headlights on.

Does the ground bolt on the firewall have ground cable on the opposite side inside the passenger cabin?

 

[General karthief]

No, the factory bolt is green ( ) and not being there could effect the instruments, the wiring is also grounded to the dash frame behind the instrument cluster.

 

[palacios289]

Thank you. I’m going to start with that for now. The cluster will eventually come out either to further diagnose and or to replace bulbs.

leds?

 

[palacios289]

Yes. LEDS. I Have a whole sort of white, green and blue LED. first off I need to figure the whole cluster issues.

 

[General karthief]

I will tell you not to put the led bulb in the battery spot, I have noticed several threads about the led in the battery light spot and charging issues.

hmm i was thinking to go LED, guess ill go stock bulbs to avoid the PITA

It's only the battery bulb that makes it an issue.
you can take a flashlight and shine it on the face of the instrument cluster to see which one it is, it's the shape of the battery, just use a regular bulb in that one.
I think
Almost sure
Yup, definitely almost sure
