Spent some time working on the Vette (86 Convertible) over the weekend. One thing I had planned to do was clean the electrical grounds on the interior kick panels. After about a half hour of looking for them with a mirror and light (having dropped the hush panels) I came up blank.
Anyone have any pictures of where they are exactly? Do you have to pull the door sill and peel the carpet or what? It's hard to get around in there due to an old back injury so any info is appreciated.
Thanks

The grounds are located right above where the dash brace attaches.

I'm surprised Cliff didn't supply his image of the right side ground but here's a link to the component view of an '87 for the right side (G125) and I also don't recall seeing an image for the left but it's maybe in a similar location on the pillar as the right:

Here's a fellows description of location for an '85 on the left side:

Grounding locations are done by "zones" in FSM's and the sequence numbers of these two locations being so similar in location don't share the same zone. LH is G201 and with no images in any FSM component views may be somewhat random. I've never needed to look!

I believe I've seen it mentioned a few times that it required the removal of the left door/rocker sill trim. If I found a black wire by itself going behind the LH sill I'd likely cut the damn thing and move it to a more accessible location on the LH pillar BUT only if I had a problem with the cluster that reportedly uses that G201 ground.

Thanks much, looks like I'm going to have to do some carpet peeling. I have the Blue FSM and I've spent a could of evenings going through it and have yet to find any images or pictures of where they are.

Blue cover? Is it a Helm ST-364-86? I don't recall "blue" FSM's but there certainly could have been. If it were Helm I'm quite sure in '86 it was a two book package. If only a single book package the electrical would have been in the rear of the book after section 10. Book 2 would be ST-364-86 EDM if a two book volume. Whose is yours if not Helm?
