Ground Locations?

[Rearanger]

Need to clean my grounds. Got the ground strap from rear of engine to firewall and the battery to engine ground as well as battery to body ground.

Probably a couple more body grounds like PCM, trans, etc. My FSM and Haynes do not give a locations page.

Anyone have a locations page to either post or PM me?

Thanks

Big one is battery to Engine, thats Starter motor and Alternator amps

Then battery to Rad support and inner fender, thats headlights and relays, there is usually a Jumper on this to or from rad support

Engine to firewall is Cab Ground, all electrics in the cab use that

Engine to Frame, tail lights and trailer lights, fuel pump on some years, but thats usually in cab by inertia switch

Transmission is grounded via engine and trans support/frame
Starter motor is bolted to the trans/bellhousing, so if starter works then trans is grounded


Ford puts out an EVTM(Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual) for each model each year
It is part of Shop Manual set, but is often sold separately, or NOT IN a set if you buy used, lol, it is the most used book in the set.

2003 Ranger EVTM would be only place to have detailed, and accurate, locations of all the Ground points for your truck

So where is the "engine to frame"?

What about the PCM, Haynes shows in schematic a chassis ground but also a an internal ground - is that connected to chassis?
