Yep, I've got that ground in my sight, it's a ce tral bolt with 6 or 8, I forget now, but basically male ends for a female spade connector. So I'll crimp on fresh connectors and typically run them there.
Cigarette lighter ive got it figured out luckily.
That that painless harness thing could be in the future for me.
Theres so many things I mean intraced a lot of it so I figured out a lot of itnjust by tracing lines. But if yall saw this thing it's like wtf happened. The radio man. I dont think Tony stark and Jarvis could unFugg this thing.
Sounds like the same people who installed mine: Transgressions uncovered so far:
1 - Main power and memory retention power coming through a chunk of telephone handset cord with the ends cut off and just twisted to the chopped off ends of the factory wiring harness.
2 - All factory connectors for radio and speaker chopped, speaker wires just twisted together and not all of them even had the correct polarity.
3 - Speakers holes cut into the front doors seemingly with a dull axe.
4 - Tweeters mounted into the holes in the dash were the speakers should have been with what might be the metal strip with holes in it you'd use for hanging pipes under the house.
5 - Actual dash pad chopped away over the crudely mounted tweeters (probably to get them in there without properly removing the dash pad).
6 - One of those tweeters isn't even working.
7 - Extra rear speaker holes crudely chopped into the factory Suburban rear A/C housing, speakers missing but wires hanging out.
8 - Somewhere between the radio and rear speakers there is a cut off that goes to a switch panel that allows the rear speakers to be selected or the in-dash stereo or a long-gone television unit that would have been in the center console for rear seat passengers. One of those wires is broken and since theres no documentation on where those would be I just had to run a temporary wire under the carpet for now.
I've solved some of these (mostly the under-dash stuff with properly done solder and shrink wrap in place of the twist-n-hope connections, using real automotive grade wire instead of old telephone wire. Also made plastic covers for the chopped up rear A/C holes). I can't unchop the holes in the front doors but fortunately the plastic panels hide the horrible rough edges in the metal and I eneded up putting speakers back in there so they'd cover the holes in the plastic panels.
