Default ground wire to radiator support bracket

anybody know what circuit this grounds?
it is near the bottom, on the drivers side.
I'm guessing turn signals circuit, since my have been acting up for the last 6 months and this "ground" was not very grounded when I pulled out the radiator and support bracket.

I believe it is ALL front lights and horns - essentially, the front of the car - radiator forward.

This may explain why my headlights just started acting funny. I may need to clean the contact area of the ground again.

cool, thanks for the info.
the recommendation had been "check ground" but I never knew where the ground was. Found it by accident while removing and replacing the radiator & support bracket. Hopefully this will fix my turn signals too...although this is a pretty pricy way to fix a turn signal!
