tpm419419 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hello Can anyone tell me of a convenient grounding post near the fuse panel or even the center console? I am extending a fuse from interior fuse panel for a dashcam Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 There are some decent ones for small gauge wire behind the headunit in my '08. I imagine that's a little more difficult to access in the second gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 OK thanks I had an 07 and the 2011 and newer models are quite different. I was hoping for something just above the carpet on the firewall. I will try and take a look today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayoVac Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 If you look at the mount where the emergency brake is held at the lower front of the dash, there are two bolts that attach that metal bracket. It is just over to the left of the OBD port. Its real close the the fuse panel area and up and out of the way. The two bolts are one above the other. I used the lower one.

tpm419419 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Thank you RayoVac I also found 2 studs on the firewall behind the center console that runs a wire through to the engine compartment. If that doesn't provide the ground I will certainly use what you suggest Thank you again Edited May 19, 2014 by tpm419419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builder1 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 OK real late question on this topic. Can I use the solid black wire on the diagnostic port itself for my dashcam ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
