Interior ground passenger side???

I got around to adding a dashcam to the corvette. I'm using an add-a-fuse to take power from the radio fuse but can't find a ground! I took the hush panel off but everything is plastic!

Help!

Just pull the carpet back and attach to the side kick.

What year is this car? In all of the later '91+ cars there's circuit add capability wired into the car with blunt cut leads in the console. There's many other opportunities and locations also depending upon the year of the car.

Well you can use an add-a-fuse to take ground from the radio too if you want

I ran a wire to where the dash support brace meets the firewall under the dash pad on my 87.

You can fuse positive or negative. Though positive is the norm. The only reason I mentioned using one is when people use them at all they don't want to cut wires. So that would allow for grounding without cutting the radios ground wire.
