No FI harness plugged in,or the original Alternator 3 spade plug.Options on these two for a spade connection for a ground?

It should already have a bundle of brown wires going to it from the main harness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Just use the ground connection under the relay board? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Pin #10 on the body wiring harness (the 14-pin plug) gets ground. It only connects to the defroster relay and the FI power supply relay, though. Nothing else on the relay board seems to be hooked to a full-time ground.
The engine should be at ground. So should the chassis. What ya tryin' to ground? --DD |

#4 should be connected to the starter circuit, basically hooking into the yellow wire that tells the starter when to crank.
