Theres a battery cable to Chassis ground on top of the frame next to the battery. Its Chassis Ground stud G-104/108.

Find the negative battery cable and you will see that theres TWO wires on it. The small one goes to that ground point. Its a 10mm nut on a stud. Make sure that you soak it in PB Blaster before you wrench on it. Once its apart, clean the wire and chassis good and reassemble.

Default PB Blaster

Good Advise on soaking the nut first. Heard many times that the stud will break off. Not sure I know what PB Blaster is. So, will WD40 work?
