Part of it clips to a connector by the battery, the rest of it goes to the other side of the block, just follow the line.

I believe it grounds to the driver side block or head, just under the A/C compressor.

The battery ground? I came in here thinking maybe you were looking for the ground when you were leaving the line dragging the bumper
