Default Working on a project that needs a ground.

I am looking for a ground to hardwire something in. I did some searching and it looks like my options for grounding is the Splice Pack SP208 (#1 below) and G202 (#5 below). What I don't know is what SP208 looks like or how to find it. I found a diagram that points it out but no pictures of it. doesn't anyone have an image showing it? or the G202 that is supposed to be in the Kick Panel area in the passenger footwell.


I have included a pic of my fuse panel below but I don't think i see it...

The metal screw in the middle upper part of the photo that the wire is covering the top part of the screw. This is the ground spot. I have my mild to wild switch grounded there.

No. I used the one in the middle part of photo, under the small black wire...about a inch left of the fuse puller. The one your talking about would probably work also.

Don't use the Splice Pack SP208 for grounding. As a matter of fact, don't use it for anything, unless you are certain you know way more than you know. That is a splice pack to get into the Data Communications part of the car. If you attempted to ground anything, or used the terminals for anything without the C6 Shop Manual guidance - remove the connections!

Default correct ground location for hardwire radar detector

Anyone have an image of which bolt I should be used for ground. Is it this one or do not use this one

You should be able to pull the plastic trim piece off and add the ground here.

Any of the screws that hold the amp in place can be used for a ground. I have my Mild2Wild grounded on the lower right amp screw.
