Default TCS solenoid ground wire?
My TCS and ABS lights have been on all winter and now that it is warming up are going on and off. I want to clean the ground wire for the solenoid control and clean the connections at the wheels but i dont know where the ground is. Does anyone have a location with a picture maybe? Thanks in advance

Ok, well...it still helps if you update the info in your sig.

The reason I needed to know the year, is that absfixer can not repair all years. Do some searching, and I always recommend following the service manual troubleshooting, but a C1214 is typically a kiss of death.
