Guys,

I am troubleshooting a rear brake light problem and I need to find the location of the "Main Rear Ground". I see that the connector is located at the "Left Rear Carling".

Can someone please point me to what and where the "Left Rear Carling is? Also the physical location of the rear main ground. I am guessing it located somewhere behind the LH rear Davo but would like to confirm before I start pulling the Davo and side panels.

Thanks,
Jon

It is located beneath the license plate. You have to remove the vertical plastic panel to get to it

I found the location of the connector and the rear main ground. The picture does not illustrate but the actual position of the the ground point is at the bottom of the LH rear corner below the tail light housing.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

And as a reminder since your were looking for that connector, you may remember that the blue wire in that harness carries 12v from the dash, but it just ends there at that connector.
