It is very unique because the wire is thick, very thick and looks like a 1/2 inch wire. No other is like it. There is one from the negative terminal of the battery to the Car Body, and the other if it is not from the Block to the Car body, then it should be from the Transmission body to the car body. If the car body is not metal then ground it to the Chassis that forcely has to be metal. The problem is that the Chassis is always heavy to dig or open a hole to put the screw and nut. Remember always where you put the ground, or the place where is must be peel off, use sand paper!

Where is the ground engine wire that goes to the chassis or car?
The ground wire leads from the negative side of the battery and connects either to the engine block or to the frame of the automobile.
On a 94 Nissan pathfinder just above the starter there is a wire leading to the engine block what is it?
if it is a big power wire ( same size as the battery cable ) then it is the earth wire you should find that the battery has one wire going directly on to the engine or chassis there are different arangements the negative wire could be coming directly to the starter and if this is the case then the wire is just earthing the engine but in a lot of cases the starter is getting its ground from the engine and the engine gets its ground from the battery
How do you ground a car wire?
Connect it to the frame/chassis -- the major metal parts of the car, such as the walls of the engine compartment.
How do you locate the ground wire on a 1996 Saturn?
The Chassis is the ground.
How do you locate the ground wire on a car?
There are several ground wires - if you have a specific one in mind, please state which one it is. Some examples include the battery negative to ground (usually the chassis) and the engine block to ground.
Where is the Ground wire on alternator from battery?
There usually isn't one. The vehicle becomes the ground, and since the alternator is physically attached to the engine, the case of the alternator becomes the ground. Note that the battery is also connected to the vehicle chassis, usually at 2 or more points, and that the engine usually has a grounding strap to some solid point on the chassis.
What is Grounding of an RV electrical system?

Where is the chassis of a dryer?
The chassis of a dryer is what you see when you look at the dryer. It is a frame work of metal that contains the rotating drum and motor assembly. When you ground a dryer it is this framework that the ground wire, from the cord, is connected to.
1991 capri does the radio need to be grounded separetly oR IS IT ALREADY GROUNDED through THE HARNESS OR ANTENNA?
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?
I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.
Where do you put the ground wire in a 1997 cavalier?
A ground is a ground...You can put it to any metel part or screw as long as it makes contact with the chassis or frame.
