Accessory ground location

[Chickensandwich]

I’m installing a few accessories and running the power over to the fuse panel on the drivers side of the dash. I keep reading “there’s a convenient grounding spot at all fuse panels”. Ok, but where? I can’t seem to find a good ground. Anyone know where a good convenient ground is in that location?

Does your rig have a large wire bundle to the console area? The nnbs models did. In that is a large ground conductor, #8 or so. You might terminate that at a ground bus and make your own. If the radio console is still in place that could already be done.

There are some 10MM nuts on studs next to the fuse panel bolted to the body structure that work good. Also in the junction box to the left of the brake pedal under the dash has a ground tap. Check out the first to pages of this thread:

Hardwiring issues - ignition switched 12v

Hello, I went to hardwire my radar and dashcam today, I grounded them to the middle bolt in the driver side fuse panel and ran a jumper wire to the engine bay fuse box slot 45 to test it. I wasn't getting any power with the key, is there a better ground location? Any other advice appreciated.

Good stuff. Thanks. Makes me wonder why they don’t add a nice convenient ground right next to the fuse panel with a big bolt that says GROUND HERE —->
