Wiring/Electrical Issue

Can anyone direct me to a diagram of the wiring grounds? I've been trying to fix a short in my tail and dash lights. I've changed each of the three multiplex control units and the exterior light switch. None of that has helped. I'm looking at the wiring of my aftermarket alarm now. Next I'm going to look at the stock grounds as the source of the problem, as someone here suggested to me before. If anyone has any other ideas on this, please let me know.

If you were to download the Helms manual - it has some electrical diagrams but not enough to really help.


Off the top of my head I can rattle off a majority of them.

Battery to transmission to radiator support
driver-side of the valve cover to the shock tower, as well as power steering bracket
your tail lights have a ground at the back passenger side light
there's 1 or 2 grounds under your dash if i'm not mistaken as well.
your alarm should have a ground wherever the "brain" is mounted

The ones in the bay are the easiest to check and majority of the time are the issues.

Well .. right now my lude is currently getting looked at for this same problem. They are taking out the dash and looking at the wires under there for the problem. If they don't figure it out there.. it's probably going to end up being my headlight switch.

Should be figured out by the end of the day.. I'll let you know what the cause was!
