I have a 2008 GT that the previous owner relocated the battery to the trunk. There are ground wires everywhere in the engine bay. I found 2 that weren't connected to anything, one I was able to figure out where it went. However, the other I can't seem to figure where it goes or if it's even necessary. Need your ideas as to what to do with the ground cable. Thanks in advance!

Generally any ground with that large of lug will go to the block or head doesn't matter where.

If the battery is located in the trunk, you need the vent hose to the outside like the Lincoln LS has. The battery has a nipple for a hose which vents the H2 outside.No explosion danger that way.
