So I'm sure this question has been asked several times before but I've searched the forum and haven't found the answer yet.

I'm in the process of cleaning up my wire harness and cleaning up connections, but before I started I wanted to know where every ground was on the car. I've heard there are five. I only know of three so far. Could someone tell how many there actually are and where they're located. Thanks

Have you found the major dashboard grounding stud located above the steering column area?

You will need the spine of a snake and the eyes of an eagle to perhaps be able to locate it, but it is a major grounding point.

I also believe there is at least one, maybe two, grounding points for the two rear tail lights.

I have a grounding stud on the triangle brace forward of the passenger motor mount.

I tie all my electronics grounds from the passenger bulkheads to here.

I also run a ground from one of the studs on the starter motor to the large bolt on the passenger side of the engine bay brace. This is NOT a stock ground.

Then there is the ground that ties to the ZF at the back of the engine bay. This uses a short, flat, braided cable.

And IIRC, there is a ground point in the front trunk, by the battery.

So I think I am missing one.

Here are the locations of two, in this picture.
