    Need help with mystery ground wire…

    I discovered a disconnected / floating ground wire on my FJ62 that has me stumped. Could someone with an intact fj62 take a look at the attached images and advise where this ground ‘should’ be attached? The other end is bolted to the passenger side firewall near heater/AC stuff?

    starter ground attach point?

    On a '96 1fz, there's a ground wire in the harness close to the starter power wire. Where does that ground attach? Frame? Starter bolt? I'm swapping an engine from a wreck and failed to document where I detached that one. Thanks.

    loose ground somewhere... now it's draining my battery

    Or maybe it's NOT draining my battery? But I'm hoping that someone could tell me where the most common ground points are, I know there are 1 or 2 in the engine bay, and then there's one in the radio area... I have the following symptoms: 1) it sounds like a rocket ship is taking off on...

    Cheap harness for generic led headlights designed to work on toyota ground based headlight systems.

    I got cruiser trash's koito harness dongle to try on my cheap generic led harness not triggering the High beam indicator. It kinda works and kinda doesn't (might be my hibeam switch). So I was trying to see about getting a koito harness to swap out. But I found this instead. It's a Harness...

    Bad Ground/exterior lighting issues?

    My 97 FJ80 continues to blow the fuses for the turn signals, running lights, and brake lights. Head lights and flashers work. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I’m assuming it’s a bad Ground and was wondering what/where the most likely culprit could be. Thanks for the help.

    ground problem?

    I a beginning to think my electrical problems are related to a bad ground wire or situation. I don't think two separate relays would go bad and Buzz at the same time. 1) There is a ground from the starter to the frame: it is like 0 or 00 size. 2) There is the factory ground from the negative...
