So I was changing out my light bulbs and noticed that I have a ground that's, well, not actually doing any grounding.
Here is what I'm talking about. Does the ground attach to the red-box indicated bolt, a la here? Would one of you 6G people take a look under your hood and take a pic as to where it goes? Also, if you would be able to tell me the size of the bolt, that would be great. I can't find it in the Haynes OR Chiltons manual. Thanks in advance! --- **EDIT:** Did a search for the 5S-FE engine and Wikipedia (of all places) has a decent pic of the engine bay with the ground actually attached. If you look at the first pic in this post (reminder), does this ground go between the engine support hook and the underneath mount or under both? |

better to have it in font of the hook so that the underside of the hold head has full contact with the ring terminal

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ May 17, 2016 - 4:48 PM)  actually you can ground anywhere you want in the car. any point in the engine to chassis. i made several It's already attached on the chassis, I just need to figure out where on the engine this thing goes. I'm thinking the circled area in pic 1 - just need to figure out the bolt size. Maybe 12mm? |

I think it goes on to the inside of the fender. opposite to where you are pointing out in your first picture.

That ground goes to the motor hook thing right behind the alternator, i believe they already figured that out though.
