ka24e grounding

[Options13]

alright well i am having a very hard time finding where certain stuff are ground, i just tried to hook up my battery and it started sparking like crazy

i have a picture of where some of the stuff are ground.. most likely wrong..

the FSM is rather hard to understand


no idea where this goes


probably the only right one..


2 grounds in one at the alternator



anything ground to this?

How'd you even get into this predicament in the first place???

I'm thinking that is the positive for the starter - maybe if you zoomed out a bit or showed what other wires were near there (kind of hard to tell from the shot for me - haven't looked @ a sohc in a long time).

Alternator should have 1 ground, I have a feeling the other one is possibly a positive wire - yikes. The ground for alternator is a tiny wire. The thicker gauge one goes on the power terminal of the alternator.

As for the oil pan picture, I'm not positive, but last time I was under there, brackets held the hard lines for the automatic tranny -> tranny cooler in the radiator (at least I think mine did).
