I am needing to know where to ground this wire, it comes off of the alternator harness that goes to the fuse box i believe, I redid all my wiring so i'm ass backwards on a lot of this stuff. Doesn't the alt. harness connect to the fuse box somehow or does it just ground to the block. The other picture is showing a bolt on the block, could I ground the wire to that bolt. Its the closest blue bolt to the camera. Thanks

Two more questions. I have my battery in the trunk and I am temporarily grounding the negative to teh trunk latch. Shouldn't that be enough power to give juice to the battery. When I try to start the car the volts lower and eventually dies. And before starting the volts only go up to the O in normal. Before the h.c.i the battery would be between M and A.


Last question. I am taking the negative off the fuse box and grounding it to a bolt by the cruise control box. Is this sufficient. Thanks


I am trying to figure out why the car is only wanting to turn over and not start all the way. I am guessing its from a lack of grounds and if i have all of them where they should be. Thanks

Your first pic goes to your positive peg coming off the fuse box it is not a negative wire (blk w/ orange stripe). Your ground for your battery should be a spot that is free of paint and is straight metal to metal contact. There are no grounds coming from either of the fuse boxes so be careful.
