Ground bolt?

[Pauly99to17]

I am installing my fog lights and have found a ground bolt on the right side, but can't find one for the left side. Anyone know where there is one located?

By right side. Do you mean passenger side?

No, driver side.

It's located above the windshield washer reservoir.

The other side does not have a bolt in this location.

Really? Have you looked for other bolts that are on the chassis. They are pretty much ground connections.

Ya, I have two grounds on these Spyder ones. Check the last post here and you can see in the PDF file I attached that there are two grounds.

You can probably run a long wire across to have the same ground connection with the two wire connections. I wouldn't do it that way though...Lol.

is it long enough to ground on your battery?

 

[Pauly99to17]

I think I found one! Thanks guys!

I will post a pic later to show where. Hopefully they work.

Ya , I could do it that way, but would rather not.

 

[Pauly99to17]

Ah nuts, they don't work.

Problem somewhere. Maybe it's the ground location I used. ???

When you mean ground to the battery, do you mean hook the ground wire to the negative terminal?
Maybe I should try that. I'm not getting a light in the button switch....getting nothing. Checked fuse in wire tap in fuse box and is a okay.

 

[Pauly99to17]

I think the problem might be that I have fuse tapped into #12 in the engine bay fuse box. This is for fog lights, but in the DIY video I saw, the guy was suggesting it. Should be tapped into the ignition wire. ???

 

[webby]

yes, I was talking about the ground/negative battery terminal.

 

[Pauly99to17]

yes, I was talking about the ground/negative battery terminal.

Ya, okay. That's what I thought. I have a feeling that the ground i found is okay, but the fuse tap in then engine bay #12 is not correct. I think that one might be the correct one for OEM fogs, but not these aftermarket ones. Will test that ground though to see and rule that out.

 

[Pauly99to17]

Got it all working. Thanks again for help.

BTW, it was a poor ground on the driver side that was the problem. I ran the ground wire to the negative terminal as Webby suggested and everything was good.
