Ground location?
I have an 04 auto. Looking for a common ground connection to the fuel gauge, and the cd player. I know it sounds odd, but the cars gas gauge will only go to 1/2, not below, and the cd player will only play on the front left speaker. The radio portion plays through the entire system. This happened once before, and I searched and found cures for the gas level indicator and was about to tear into the tank systems when the problem resolved itself through no action on my part. I didn't connect the cd player issue until today. Been fine for a couple of months, and low and behold, I think I should be below 1/2 tank for the driving I did, so I remembered the cd issue and started it, same issue.
I'll pull codes tonight, but figure I have a ground issue somewhere.
Thanks.

Giving it a bump. Hopefully someone knows which ground is in common. I've checked the three in the engine compartment, and one at the drivers side rear wheel. Trying to find other locations. I've read that there is one in the passenger footwell, but haven't located it yet. Lots of parts in there. Do you have to remove something to find this ground?

The fuel system and the CD player have no grounds in common.
The fuel tank ground is G-401. The CD played isnt grounded to the chassis so to speak. It uses the BOSE system grounds The bose system is grounded to the cabin grounds G-201 & G-202. I dont have my pubs with me or i would tell you exactly where it is grounded.
