intermitten electrical
Have 96 collectors edition LT1 / w automatic transmission.
Have been having various electrical glitches, with things like
antenna once in a while wont operate, cabin lights wont go out,
a/c turns on but not off. I believe that I have a ground problem.
The question is where are these ground and what is the best way
to clean them, repair them or replace them??
As always thanks

Not for your year, but this should give you a pretty good idea of how many and where. FSM will help on all kinds of electrical and has pics and with other issues! Highly recommended.
G101 - On top of the frame rail under the power brake booster.

G104 - Just above the oil filter on the side of the block.
This is the main engine ground.
Many problems have been solved by cleaning and tightening this connection.

G115 - Just above the horn on the driver's side.

G116 - Just above the horn on the passenger side.
G117 - On the front crossmember next to the power steering reservoir.
G125 - In the passenger side footwell on the door hinge pillar.
G??? - I believe there is also a ground in the driver's side footwell on the door hinge pillar but it is not shown in the shop manual.
G201 - On the frame rail under the air conditioner evaporator housing.
It does not have an arrow in this picture. It's next to splice S128.
G320 - On the driver's door striker pillar next to the rear compartment lamp.

G401 - On the passenger's door striker pillar next to the rear compartment lamp.
