Default C5 Ground locations - Drivers side

I have seen in previous threads the general location of the ground points but I can not find the two in the driver door area. Anyone have a picture or better description of these grounds so I can find them? Reason being is I am getting the 'service traction control' on the DIC and I have cleaned the two grounds behind the headlamps and it didn't help. Yes, I cleared the DIC of the errors after I cleaned the grounds...still getting the error. Thanks

2001 Coupe, no mods

I'm not sure about the driver's door area but on the driver's side of the engine, you have a braided grounding strap that runs from the block to the frame. 14 or 15 mm bolt on the block and 10 mm nut on the frame.

Here's a pic from a service manual of #G201 at the base of the drivers A-pillar, I believe it's behind the kick panel.

The EBTCM electronic ground is on the passenger side of the car by the battery. It is G108. The ground on the driver's side behind the headlamp is the ground for the BPMV.

G108
Forward lamp harness, below the battery tray on the frame rail (CKT 1251)
