    Hi all,

    I am curious as to where all the grounding points are in my '88 Fox Coupe. I'm having some weird gauge issues and want to make sure those are all good since I know they are an issue on these cars.

    And before you tell me to buy a manual, I got a Bentley manual coming.

    I clearly need to study these more myself - but this should come in handy:

    From my understanding there are a lot of grounds throughout.

    Thanks a bunch! I'm going to print it off and start poking around the car and see why my fuel gauge, temp gauge, and charge light won't work and my oil pressure light keeps flashing.

    I think I need to check grounds as well, I have a flickering alternator light even though I have 14.5V charge rate at the battery when running. Might be a cluster issue too.
