Can anybody help me find a link to the ground distribution points on a '97 f-body. I want to check every ground point on the car. I've seen the ground distribution diagram with every G-XXX point with location descriptions before on-line but I can't seem to find it now. I think the one I saw was from a factory service manual. I have a Haynes and a Chilton manual but neither has it. Can anybody find me a link or scan the page from their manual and post. Please.
I keep finding repaired wiring in this car like it may have been wrecked at some point or somebody intentionally damaged some of the wiring? I have probably found most of the grounds and repaired any that were questionable but would like to find the hidden ground point locations so I can check them too.

It takes way more than a single page to show every ground on the car. The factory service manual electrical section starts with power distribution, and follows with the details on the ground distribution. Each ground has a number, and there are tables showing where they are located. This is the 1996 factory manual download, and there are few (if any) differences in 97.

I found the list of all the ground connection points with descriptions of their locations in the '96 manual. They are all listed on page 8A-14-19. This is a good way to check the connections at their source points. If any have been disturbed(like someone may have added a ground for an aftermarket add-on)they could be loose. I'm gonna check every one because of some electrical gremlins that have been showing up intermittantly.
Injuneer, Thanks again for the link.
