 This is a rather problematic ground connection.=C2=A0 There are some quick=
 connect terminals in the harness that runs just behind the grill that plug=
 into little tabs on the sheetmetal.=C2=A0 Corrosion is likely in this vici=
nity.
I modified my wire harness by splicing wires with ring terminals and ground=
ing them under the fastener for the stabilizer brace.
