Hi, I'm new to the forum here so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place/manner...

I'm trying to find the physical location of "G100" ground in the electrical system which seems to be the common ground for some of the cabin lighting and the infamous "blend door" in the environmental system.

The Dome lighting is almost invisible when the the dimmer switch knob is used, and not working at all otherwise (yet the "Door Ajar" dashboard light works), and...
Heater/AC blows HOT except for Max AC setting, regardless of Temperature knob setting.

On a random wiring schematic I found on the 'net (for a 4.0) the "blend door" and "internal lighting" have a common ground: "G100". So.... where is it ? excruciatingly fine detail required since I've owned a Ranger for only a week so far.

much thanks and does anybody know of service manuals/schematics for my lil'beastie, online ? (I've got the Owner's Manual so far)
