Default 89 Ground Locations

Where are the electrical grounds located on the 89?

There is the one near the battery, is that the only one?

Thanks.

You should be able to make one out of any screw attatched to the frame. Just clean the area off with something and attatch away... Make sure its metal though...

If you have an Auto, there is one attached to the bell housing.

VB, I wasn't looking for a new place to ground something.

I want to check and clean off the existing grounds to make sure they are grounding properly. I've had a few odd electrical and want to rule out the ground connection.

Thanks

What kinda electrical problems?

There are 27 different grounds on a Vette... concentrated in a half dozen places.

The main ones are under the hood and one in each kick panel.

If you are having serious electrical problems, I would recommend you get a copy of a Helm Factory Service Manual, www.helminc.com. They have schematics and electrical trouble shooting flowcharts.
