Broken ground wire location

Pulling everything off last night to chane the HG's and found a broken ground wire on the rear port side of the intake next to the GPC. Looked into the wire harness and couldn't locate the source. Any idears? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Re: Broken ground wire location

On mine there is a ground connection back there that hooks on to the intake bolt [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]. It is the ground for the gp controller and my controller won't work unless the ground is hooked up. I found that out the hard way [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img].---MUCH LUCK!!!---ENUS

Re: Broken ground wire location

Yep sounds like that is it. Other than that I can't think of anything that grounds back there off the top of my head.
