The Case of The Lost Ground Wire

While replacing the spark plugs yesterday I found a free roaming ground wire without a home. I was hoping someone could check their car and help me find a comfortable place for it. It's the very first wire that splits off the ground cable as you follow it from the negative side of the battery. There's a black plastic connector that attaches it to the battery ground.

Thanks,
Greg

That wire is your main body ground ( the other heavier wire goes to the trans). It goes right under and between the main fuse block and air cleaner. You will have to remove your air cleaner to reattach it .
