URGENT HELP NEEDED: Ground Wire!!!
 
I need urgent help guys in the middle of a Start Engine button install, got it working, but in order to get the light working i have to connect one of the wires into a ground wire. I am working under the steering wheel, any1 know how to point me to one of the ground wires under here.... Thanks in advance!!!!!

Dude, just unscrew the nearest car chassis bolt that you see and attach the kit's ground wire to it. Just make sure the bolt is bare metal. If it's painted then just scrape it off. that's it! You don't need a separate one.

just use the ground from lighter plug's wiring

don't use the HU's ground though!

Whats the HU??? I am touching the ground wire to the chassis, but no light comes on, maybe that doesn't work? or is it supposed to work like that no matter what?

HU is head unit...really u should have the battery disconnected while doing this

Crap ran a wire all the way to the negative battery source and light didn't shine, this sucks after full install, the light doesn't work... well i guess i won't have a light for a while lol...
