I found about 11 volts in my radio fuse so i checked it out and found a couple of loose and disconneced wires, i reconnected them and voltage went down to .66 volts and the problem is i cant seem to find a good ground anywhere that will zero the voltage. Do any of you know where/what your radio is grounded to?

i don't know where the "Real" spot is for the ground, but i Just screwed it on with the metal "Casing" that supports the radio and that made a ground. Remember, anything that touches the chassis will be a ground.

Simple terms.....wrap the wire/buy a ring clamp on it and screw that on the screw and it'll ground.

Works for me...

Ok because i wrapped it around a center console screw and it touches the metal part of the chassis but it seems like a weird place to put it and i wonder if it's a good enough ground. I am not good at all with wiring diagrams.
