    Rear Wiring Harness Ground

    Would somebody please tell me where the rear wiring harness grounds (for the tail/stop/plate lights) are located? Are they somewhere back there where the rear lights are, or does it send black ground wires back up to the front for grounding, the way the front lights are ALL grounded to the radiator support panel?

    I'm dealing with a SIII (former) 6-cylinder, though I doubt that matters much.

    Thanks!

    On my 82 109 2.25 petrol the rear light grounds are inside on the floor of the tub next to where the wiring comes up from underneath. If you have the small panels that cover the wiring and the back of the lights inside the tub, look in there.

      There should be a 4 terminal ground block on each side in the corner behind the lights.
