i recently replaced the motor in a 2.4 i had and trying to figure out the locations of the ground wires on the engine. car isnt starting and im pretty sure its due to grounding issues. had the grounding wires taped off to their proper positions but of course, the tape broke now i have no idea where they go.

Here's a picture of the 3 grounds in question. They're numbered 1-3, descriptions of where they start are listed, but i need to know where they bolt down on the factory 2.4. I've got no voltmeter at the moment and the ground positions i've already tried were not successful.

The ground marked #1 branches off of the engine harness right near the starter.

The Ground marked #2 runs straight from the frame under the drivers headlight (a rather beefy ground) and looks like its supposed to be bolted in somewhere around the starter aswell.

The ground marker #3 branches off of the engine harness near the A/C unit.

 

Get a pic of where they are at on the motor/frame and I shall find out for you. I look and see if I can find them now but I have no clue were they are even located.

 

Most likely the one that goes from the engine to the bell housing by the starter that was my problem

 

Will this help maybe?

 

I know for certain that the top one is where your washer filler neck is on the N/A cars. The lower one I'm not sure.

 

ill get some pics tomorrow, that wiring diagram might help but its still kinda hard to see which are the ground on those.

Hopefully this picture will help you out, it's from when we did the sc install on my car. If not just text me and I'll go pop the hood and find the grounds.

 

if possible can you get the same shot but from under the car looking up?

 

Yea I can do that, I wont be able to right now though. I have work till 8. Should be able to do it thursday as long as it doesn't rain too much.

 

I think I found were ground #3 goes.
